Islamabad’s district administration has intensified action against illegal indoor Sheesha Cafes operating across the federal capital.
Authorities have ordered enforcement teams to take action against businesses violating existing rules. The latest operation resulted in three establishments being sealed at Civic Centre.
Assistant Commissioner Rural Fahad Cheema led the enforcement operation. Officials inspected several locations to check whether indoor sheesha services were being provided legally.
During the operation, authorities found three cafes allegedly operating in violation of regulations. The administration sealed all three establishments following the inspection.
Crackdown to Expand Across Islamabad
Following the Civic Centre operation, the Deputy Commissioner Islamabad issued further directions to field officers.
Officials were instructed to conduct similar inspections across different areas of the capital. The administration has directed teams to take action without discrimination.
The crackdown will not remain limited to Civic Centre. Enforcement teams are expected to inspect commercial centres and other locations across Islamabad.
Authorities will specifically look for Sheesha Cafes providing indoor services without the required legal permission.
Businesses found violating the rules could face administrative and legal consequences. These measures may include sealing establishments and registering cases under relevant laws.
Officials have indicated that enforcement operations will continue in the coming days.
Islamabad High Court Had Sought Details
The latest crackdown comes amid increased official and judicial attention toward sheesha businesses in Islamabad.
Last month, the Islamabad High Court sought information about cafes providing sheesha services in the federal capital.
The court also questioned authorities about establishments allegedly operating without the required no-objection certificates.
The development placed greater attention on how such businesses are monitored and regulated in Islamabad.
The district administration has now signaled that enforcement will be expanded across the city.
Officials are expected to continue checking whether businesses have the required permissions to provide indoor sheesha services.
The administration’s latest move could lead to further action against Sheesha Cafes found operating outside the legal framework.
For now, three cafes at Civic Centre have been sealed. More inspections are expected as authorities expand enforcement throughout Islamabad.
