The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has reclaimed 50 kanal of encroached land in Islamabad. The land is located at Quaid-i-Azam University.
The site had been reserved for the National Center for Physics. The CDA conducted a joint anti-encroachment operation to clear the area.
The operation was carried out by teams from the CDA’s Enforcement and Environment Wings. Seven illegal structures were removed during the drive.
The action has cleared the land for its planned purpose. The CDA said the operation supports its efforts to protect public property.
Heavy machinery was used to remove the illegal structures. Officials from the district administration also attended the operation.
A large police contingent was deployed at the site. The security arrangement was made to prevent any possible untoward incident.
The operation also led to the registration of one obstruction case. The case was referred to Secretariat Police Station for further legal proceedings.
The CDA said illegal encroachments and obstructions on public land would not be allowed. It added that such actions would continue across Islamabad.
The authority is conducting anti-encroachment operations at different locations in the capital. These drives aim to recover public land from illegal occupants.
The CDA also wants to ensure that recovered land is used for its approved purposes. Officials said removing illegal structures would help improve the planned use of public property.
The reclaimed site at Quaid-i-Azam University was specifically allocated for the National Center for Physics. Clearing the area will allow the designated purpose to move forward.
The latest operation highlights the authority’s continued focus on removing encroachments. It also reflects efforts to prevent further illegal occupation of public land.
The CDA has urged relevant departments to support enforcement activities. The authority said anti-encroachment operations will remain part of its ongoing activities.
