  "account": "Islamabad: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has initiated an investigation to ascertain if the Capital Development Authority (CDA) carried out an anti-encroachment operation in the Bari Imam area last year without resolving compensation claims. The FIA recently requested CDA records on land acquisitions in Noorpur Shahan, Bari Imam. A letter addressed to the CDA and obtained by Dawn illustrates this inquiry, initiated under the minister for interior and narcotics control's direction following a complaint by Tanvir Hussain, the president of the Noorpur Shahan Community Development Organisation. The complaint alleged \"forceful displacement\" and neglect in providing rehabilitation facilities through the development of a model village for affected residents.\n\nIn a statement to Dawn, a CDA officer involved in the operation affirmed that the FIA sought the records, stating, \"We welcome this probe. It's the residents' right to approach any forum, and they requested the FIA for this probe. We will provide all details to FIA as we did nothing wrong.\" The officer elaborated that all houses and settlements removed during the operation were outside the notified boundary of Model Village Noorpur Shahan. He clarified that all original awardees had been fully compensated at the time of acquisition, and the operation focused on illegal occupations declared as such through a lawful speaking order of the CDA. The officer emphasized that the entire process adhered to established legal procedures, and the speaking order had not been appealed before enforcement began.",
