  "account": "The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has implemented new rules to limit access to its One Window Operation Centre, with a focus on reducing the influence of property agents and middlemen in property transactions. CDA Member Estate Muhammad Zaman Wattoo issued these directives following multiple visits that revealed the centre was frequently overcrowded with visitors who did not have legitimate reasons for their presence.\n\nInspections indicated that over 50% of individuals at the centre were unauthorized and had no valid reason for being there. Wattoo's letter to the Director General and Director Security stressed that unauthorized people continued to enter despite previous instructions from security personnel to control access. This situation led to overcrowding, disorder, and inconvenience for genuine visitors.\n\nWattoo ordered the Director General and Director Security to appoint a responsible officer to manage security at the centre. This officer's role will be to enforce access rules, allowing entry only for those with legitimate official business and ensuring that security personnel adhere to these guidelines. Sources revealed that property agents and middlemen had been regular attendees at the centre and were allegedly colluding with CDA officials during property transfers.\n\nWhile the new restrictions are welcomed by an official source, they suggest further reforms are necessary. This includes setting a fixed timeline for completing property transfers, issuing transfer letters promptly, and taking action against officials who intentionally delay the process. Such measures, according to the source, could help eliminate the need for middlemen in property transactions.",
