The CDA sealed the offices of two illegal housing societies in Islamabad’s Zone IV on May 5, 2026. This action aims to protect citizens from rampant property fraud.
The two societies affected are Shaheen Town and Islamabad Green Paradise. CDA officials cited violations of planning and zoning laws as the reason for this enforcement.
Within hours, the CDA published a list of 98 illegal housing schemes on its official website. These schemes have not obtained the required No Objection Certificates (NOCs).
CDA officials warned the public against purchasing plots in these unauthorized housing schemes. They emphasized that their enforcement measures are designed to safeguard citizens from property fraud.
Key details:
- The sealing of offices is part of a two-phase operation against illegal housing schemes.
- The CDA’s actions align with the CDA Ordinance 1960 and ICT Zoning Regulations 1992.
- CDA has a two-stage approval process for private housing schemes.
CDA officials reiterated that the relevant departments have repeatedly cautioned the public through advertisements not to buy plots in illegal housing schemes. They advise citizens to verify the legal status of housing societies before making any investments.
The public is urged to check the CDA website for updates regarding the status of these housing societies. The crackdown reflects ongoing efforts by the CDA to combat property fraud effectively.
