ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) in collaboration with Islamabad Capital Administration (ICT) on Wednesday removed generators and security posts blocking public pathways in F-6.

The authority’s enforcement directorate along with Building Control Section (BCS) and Electrical and Mechanical Division disconnected electric cables of several generators and dismantled guard posts, placed beyond plot line, in sector F-6, says CDA’s spokesperson Syed Safdar Ali.

He said that security cabins and other material were also confiscated during the operation.

“Residents have been directed, through notices, to remove all such apparatus from the sate land and shift it within their allotted plot. In case of non-compliance generators and other apparatus will be confiscated and fines would be imposed,” the spokesperson said.

He said that encroachments established outside plot lines were causing hindrance in pedestrian movement as well as affecting the symmetry in the city.

Meanwhile, CDA teams with the assistance of ICT Administration carried out anti-encroachment activity in Sector I-14 near Hajj Complex and demolished several illegal constructions and encroachments from the vicinity.
