Subtitle: CDA Chairman Sohail Ashraf reviews ongoing development and directs officials to remove delays following the recovery of state land after nearly four decades.
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has directed officials to accelerate development work in Islamabad’s Sector E-12 following the recovery of 1,135 kanals of state land that had remained under illegal occupation for around 40 years.
During his visit to the sector, CDA Chairman Sohail Ashraf reviewed the progress of ongoing development activities and instructed the relevant departments to remove obstacles, improve coordination and complete approved projects within the stipulated timeframe.
According to the CDA, the recovered land is worth billions of rupees. Its recovery is expected to help advance planned development and support the provision of infrastructure and essential civic facilities in the sector.
Development Work to Be Accelerated
The CDA chairman stressed that development activities should move forward without compromising construction quality or approved standards.
Officials from the authority and Islamabad administration accompanied him during the visit. The review focused on ongoing development work and the steps required to address delays and other obstacles affecting progress.
The recovery of the land has removed a major obstacle to the planned development of E-12, according to the authority.
Better Infrastructure for Future Residents
The CDA says the recovered land will help facilitate development in line with the sector’s approved plan. Planned infrastructure and civic facilities are important for making the residential sector suitable for future residents and allottees.
However, the authority has not announced a new overall completion date for Sector E-12 in this update. The pace of progress and delivery of facilities will depend on the completion of the remaining development work.
A Long-Pending Residential Project
Sector E-12 has faced prolonged development delays. The recent land recovery is intended to help the CDA move forward with its plans for the area after decades of obstacles.
The latest inspection signals renewed attention to the sector’s development. Residents and allottees will be watching for visible progress on infrastructure and the completion of approved works.
