RAWALPINDI:

The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has accelerated its ongoing operations against illegal constructions in the garrison city and adjoining areas.

According to a spokesperson for the RDA, the authorities concerned were regularly conducting operations and taking action against the rules violators. He said that the authority during an operation sealed the site office of University Town Housing Scheme, KRL Hospital, an illegal under-construction building at plot number 220-A in Saidpur Housing Scheme and demolished different structures.

He said the Enforcement Squad of RDA along with the Building Control Wing took part in the operations and sealed the buildings. RDA while conducting an operation a few days back had also demolished the site office of an illegal housing scheme named Al-Qaim Mansions.

The spokesperson said that earlier, notices were also issued to the owners of these properties. The owners of the properties had violated approved building plans/maps and constructed illegal commercial buildings without prior approval and NOC, he said adding that the DG had directed the Land Use and Building Control (LU&BC) Wing to take strict action against encroachments, illegal and unauthorised constructions and commercial activities without any discrimination.
