RDA Takes Action Against Illegal Housing Schemes in Rawalpindi

The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has taken measures to combat illegal housing schemes, unauthorized building and other infractions within the territories under its jurisdiction. In accordance with the directives of the Commissioner of Rawalpindi Division and Director General of RDA, Salman Ghani, the Enforcement Squad carried out operations at three distinct sites.

Their focus was on Downtown Morgah on Defence Road opposite Askari-14, a land subdivision adjacent to Dhok Nawaz Graveyard, and an illicit housing development at Riaz Chowk in Morgah. During their interventions, the squad dismantled illegally constructed roads, structures, manholes, sewerage pipelines, and barriers. The RDA explained that these actions were executed in compliance with the Punjab Development of Cities Act, 1976, the RDA Building and Zoning Regulations, and other pertinent statutes.

A spokesperson from the RDA stated that the authority would persist in taking action against unlawful construction, unauthorized development, and illicit commercial activities within its controlled regions.
