Islamabad authorities launch major anti-encroachment campaign
Authorities in Islamabad are conducting a large-scale anti-encroachment campaign to reclaim state lands and restore urban order. Led by Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, the initiative follows a zero-tolerance policy against illegal constructions, commercial extensions, and unauthorized use of residential properties.
The operations are being carried out through a coordinated multi-agency framework involving the Capital Development Authority (CDA), led by Chairman Sohail Ashraf, and the Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad (MCI), supervised by CEO Dr. Anum Fatima. Key areas targeted include Saidpur Village, Noorpur Shahan, Islamabad Expressway, and Tarnol.
Officials report that thousands of kanals of government land and commercial assets worth billions of rupees have been reclaimed. The campaign aims to improve traffic flow, pedestrian access, and the city's overall environmental sustainability and tourism appeal.
