Eviction drive ramped up in Sector G-14/1

Sector G-14/1 forms part of FGEHF's ambitious housing scheme launched in mid-2000s for federal government employees

ISLAMABAD:

The Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHF) has stepped up its evacuation efforts in Sector G-14/1, launching a renewed door-to-door campaign to urge residents and occupants to vacate the land with effect from Monday, January 13, 2026.

Teams from the authority visited households in the area, warning that failure to vacate voluntarily could result in a full-scale enforcement operation within the next two weeks to reclaim the land for development.

Sector G-14/1 forms part of FGEHF's ambitious housing scheme launched in the mid-2000s for federal government employees. However, more than two decades later, the sub-sector remains largely undeveloped.

Despite repeated official announcements, court directives and assurances of possession, progress has remained limited due to persistent challenges, including land acquisition disputes, compensation issues relating to built-up properties (BUPs), and the clearance of illegally occupied or settled areas. The issue has repeatedly featured in media reports, with allottees expressing growing frustration over prolonged delays.

Many original allottees, who were allotted plots around 2005 at subsidised rates, have either passed away while awaiting possession or sold their plots out of despair.
