- Locations: These illegal schemes are situated across various areas within Rawalpindi district, specifically in Mouzas Lab Thatho, Niko, Bhoti Pind, Buddu, Gari Afghana, Bajar, and Taxila Tehsil.
- Actions Taken: The Enforcement Squad carried out operations to seal and demolish site offices and subdivisions associated with these unauthorized housing schemes. This action was prompted by the continued violation of regulations, including illegal advertising, plot bookings, and development activities, despite previous warnings.
- Continued Vigilance: The RDA spokesperson emphasized that the crackdown on illegal housing societies will continue as per the commissioner’s directives. This ongoing effort aims to prevent fraud and protect citizens from exploitation, maintaining regulatory compliance and safeguarding public interests.
This initiative underscores the RDA’s commitment to maintaining order in urban development, ensuring adherence to legal frameworks, and protecting residents from fraudulent practices in the real estate sector.
