ISLAMABAD:
At least 11 illegally occupied plots in the industrial area of Sector I-9 have been vacated by Capital Development Authority. According to a statement, the operation was carried out on the directives of Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation (IMC) Mayor, Sheikh Anser Aziz. The statement said that the authority was facing huge financial losses as the plots could not be put up for auction due to illegal occupation. The mayor directed the administration wing of the CDA to get possession of the plots. The court issued the vacated status quo order on Friday. As a result, officials of enforcement, security and estate management directorates along with a senior special magistrate and a heavy contingent of Islamabad police repossessed the plots and sealed the premises. Mayor Aziz said that illegal occupation of CDA land will not be tolerated and effective operations would be launched across the city to retrieve them.
