ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has recently been carrying out demolitions of homes belonging to residents of the kacchi abaadi in F-11, Islamabad.
The latest incident occurred just an hour before iftar, the breaking of the fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
This has caused immense distress to the affected families who are already struggling to make ends meet.
As the demolitions continue, residents have called for empathy and consideration from the authorities, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.
However, the demolitions have been met with a massive police presence, adding to the tension and anxiety experienced by the residents.

The kacchi abaadi in F-11 is home to many families who have been living there for years and have no other place to go.
CDA has stated that the demolitions are necessary to make way for a new development project, but the residents argue that they have not been given adequate notice or compensation.
This situation has sparked outrage on social media, with many calling for the authorities to reconsider their actions and find a more compassionate solution.
