Islamabad authorities have revoked the layout plan for two phases of the Bahria Town development project, covering a total of 2,999 kanals, due to alleged breaches of the agreed terms.

Furthermore, the Director General of the Federal Audit Office has identified illegal commercial building construction in the affected zones without CDA approval, prompting the Ministry of Interior’s Departmental Account Committee to order the removal of these structures.
