  "account": "The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has issued stern notices to religious seminaries in Islamabad for alleged construction violations. The seminary in question was found to have built without obtaining an approved construction plan. The CDA has given the seminary administration 15 days to submit the necessary construction plans. If they fail to comply, the building may be sealed. The premises were found to have unauthorized structures on mandatory setbacks and additional rooftop constructions. The authority also objects to the madrasa being used for seminary purposes instead of residential ones. The CDA has directed the administration to rectify all identified violations within the given timeframe.\n\nThis action follows a similar notice issued to Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s residence in Islamabad. The residence was also accused of illegal construction and encroachments, specifically unauthorized structures built on mandatory setbacks. The CDA has given the residence’s administration 15 days to remove all such unauthorized structures. The warning is clear: non-compliance could result in the property being sealed, financial penalties, or the demolition of illegal structures. The CDA has made it clear that such non-compliance will not be tolerated.",
