With Pakistan’s anti-encroachment drive in full swing, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and Islamabad District Administration (ICT) have kickstarted an operation to vacate the illegally occupied land in Islamabad.
Bahria Enclave, a housing scheme by Bahria Town in Islamabad, was also issued a notice by the CDA on 9th November 2019 to vacate 510 kanals land within a week.

Upon the expiry of the deadline on 16th November, CDA team went on to conduct the operation last Friday but it was called off by their senior officials for unknown reasons.
