CDA Cancels Bahria Town Layout Plan for Two Phases

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has canceled the approved layout plan for two phases of the Bahria Town development project, covering an area of 2,999 kanals. This decision came after the authority found that Bahria Town failed to meet the necessary conditions and prerequisites for obtaining a necessary approval, despite the plan having been approved in 2010 and the lapse of over 15 years since then.

In response to a notice issued by CDA, Bahria Town submitted a reply, but the authority deemed this response to be inconsistent with the facts. Following this, a final show-cause notice was issued by CDA in September 2025.

Additionally, the CDA raised an audit objection concerning the construction of a commercial building along Corniche Road within Bahria Town Phases III-E and IV, without obtaining the necessary CDA approval. The Departmental Accounts Committee directed the removal of illegal commercial buildings that were constructed on riverbed, graveyard, park, and open-space land.

Consequently, the CDA has withdrawn the layout plan with immediate effect and suspended the processing and approval of other Bahria Town cases, labeling the company as a defaulter. The enforcement wing of the authority has been directed to take action for the demolition or removal of any works, buildings, or structures constructed within the scheme.
