Nine housing projects in Islamabad were discovered to be utilizing land designated for public entities such as schools, hospitals, parks, playgrounds, and other community facilities. According to a letter from the Ministry of Interior to the National Assembly, these projects contravened their approved layout plans by transforming land intended for public use into residential and commercial zones.
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has issued warnings and initiated legal proceedings against the schemes. However, developers and residents have sought judicial intervention, resulting in temporary halts to the enforcement process. The ministry disclosed that approximately 350 kanals of land intended for parks and public buildings had been converted into residential and commercial properties by the Civilian Employees Cooperative Housing Society.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) initiated a case against the society's management in 2010, which was acquitted by an FIA court on January 13, 2024. The CDA subsequently contested the court's decision at the Islamabad High Court, where the appeal remains unresolved.
