CDA starts handing over of plots in Sector I-15 after 20 years

Move, part of a long-delayed housing project, follows two decades of development work

The Capital Development Authority has begun handing over possession of more than 8,600 developed plots out of 10,200 in Islamabad’s Sector I-15, valued at over Rs70 billion.

At a ceremony held at Jinnah Convention Centre on Thursday, over 200 allottees received possession orders. Sector I-15 housing project was initially launched for low-income citizens.

CDA chairman said that after over two decades of delay, development work has been completed, and the possession process formally started on the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, prioritising housing needs in the capital.

He appreciated NAB’s cooperation in removing obstacles in the project and acknowledged its role in ensuring legal rights for allottees. The remaining allottees will soon receive certificates at their doorstep.

To curb land-related irregularities, CDA is working with SUPARCO to implement advanced technology. NAB DG Waqar Ahmed Chauhan congratulated the allottees, saying that verification of documents was completed before issuance of possession letters.

He announced that NAB and CDA will jointly introduce a new system for transparency in the housing sector, including barcoded allotment letters and mandatory escrow accounts for housing societies to ensure that deposited funds are spent only on development activities.

The CDA chairman said public confidence in the authority’s policies reflects their commitment, adding that development work in other delayed sectors, including C-14, has been accelerated and possession will soon be handed over to allottees.
