CDA need to need clear many encroachment in old sectors. You can not walk at Peshawar more g9 sector as all hotels and shops occupied path and hotels spreads smoke which makes difficult to breath.
This must be checked and bring life normal.

Topi drama..CDA should operate against illegal housing societies those hv also encroached CDA's land...
They will only go after the weak...they will never dare to go after the real encrochers...
چراغ تلے اندھیرا؟ پہلے اپنے دفتر کے پاس تو صفائ کرلو، یا وہی سیاسی مخالفونکو 50کلو میٹر دور جاکر اکھاڑ، پچھاڑ کروگے، صرف دکھانیکے کئے۔
What about action against those who continue to run Qabza gangs. Just demolishing structures doesn't help in the long run.
Also what about these real estate agents running about selling files to unsuspecting consumers.. Will the law take its course over them as well?
