The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has completed a survey on illegal buildings set up on state land in different parts of the federal capital.
According to the survey, employees of the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) had built illegal structures on expensive land around the sports complex over the past 30 years.
After demolishing the illegal structures, a three-lane road will be built which will connect Seventh Avenue with Chand Sitara Chowk till Murree Road.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the PSB has stated that they are a government department and are bound to follow the directions they receive from the relevant quarters of government. However, the official told Daily Express that they have yet to receive any instructions regarding the demolition of their structures from the government thus far.
The CDA, on the other hand, has prepared a demolition plan.
