ISLAMABAD – Authorities have ramped up efforts to combat the growing number of illegal housing societies in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, as demand for affordable housing fuels unapproved developments.
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) and Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) have launched strict enforcement actions, including FIRs against unauthorized schemes and bans on misleading advertisements. Officials warn buyers to verify housing society approvals before making purchases.
A detailed list of illegal housing societies has been released, covering areas such as Adyala, Chakri Road, Morgah, and Taxila, while approved housing schemes like Bahria Town, Gulberg Residencia, and Naval Anchorage remain compliant with regulations.
Authorities emphasize the importance of proper urban planning, urging investors to choose legally approved projects to avoid financial risks.
