ISLAMABAD
The district administration of Islamabad carried out a large-scale operation against illegal encroachments in Sector 14/1-G, reaffirming its commitment to reclaiming government land from unlawful occupation and ensuring transparency in urban management.
The operation was launched on the special instructions of Director General of the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA), Captain (Retd.) Muhammad Zafar Iqbal. Acting under his directives, the Assistant Commissioner of Islamabad and the Deputy Commissioner (Land Acquisition Collector) of FGEHA supervised the proceedings, with a magistrate present to guarantee that all legal protocols were strictly observed.
Senior officials including Tehsildar Mudassar Mehmood, Tehsildar Muhammad Ali, and Patwari Syed Khurram Naqvi were actively involved in overseeing the demolition process.
Their presence ensured that the operation was conducted in a transparent manner, leaving no room for allegations of bias or irregularity.
The primary objective was to clear valuable government land that had been illegally occupied and to send a strong message that encroachments will not be tolerated.
During the course of the operation, approximately 15 illegally constructed properties and structures were demolished.
Heavy machinery was deployed to dismantle the encroachments swiftly and effectively. To maintain peace and order, police contingents were stationed at the site, ensuring that the process remained smooth and free of confrontation.
Notably, no unpleasant incident was reported, reflecting the careful planning and coordination between the district administration, FGEHA, and law enforcement agencies.
The administration emphasized that this was not an isolated effort but part of a broader campaign to eliminate encroachments across Islamabad.
Officials reiterated that indiscriminate actions will continue in all sectors of the capital, targeting both small-scale and large-scale illegal occupations.
They stressed that no leniency will be shown to individuals or groups who attempt to seize government land for personal gain.
Encroachments have long been a challenge in Islamabad, contributing to urban disorder, obstructing development projects, and depriving the government of land meant for housing schemes and public facilities.
The latest operation highlights the administration’s resolve to restore order and protect public resources.
By reclaiming land, the government aims to ensure that it can be utilized for planned development, housing projects, and infrastructure that benefits the wider population.
The district administration also underscored the importance of public cooperation in this campaign.
Citizens were urged to refrain from supporting or engaging in illegal construction and to report any instances of encroachment to the authorities.
Officials noted that transparency and accountability would remain central to all future operations, with strict adherence to legal procedures.
This decisive action in Sector 14/1-G serves as a reminder that the rule of law will be upheld in Islamabad.
The administration’s message is clear: encroachers will face demolition and legal consequences, while government land will be safeguarded for legitimate and constructive use.
