CDA demolishes multiple illegal structures

Heavy machinery was employed to demolish the structures, with the assistance of Islamabad police and district administration. Fences, car sheds, and entrance gates built on government land were removed in over 22 streets. 

For the past few months, CDA has been carrying out relentless operations against encroachments and illegal establishments throughout the city, resulting in the retrieval of millions worth of government land.
