ISLAMABAD, Nov 21 (APP):Capital Development Authority (CDA) Board on Friday directed that allotment letters for all housing schemes be printed exclusively through the Printing Press of Pakistan and strictly in accordance with approved layout plans.
The directive was issued during the 17th meeting of the CDA Board, chaired by Chairman CDA and Chief Commissioner Islamabad Muhammad Ali Randhawa at the CDA Headquarters.
Randhawa said the move was aimed at eliminating the long-standing practice of issuing extra or duplicate files beyond the number of plots approved in layout plans.
He instructed that barcodes, watermarks and other security features be made mandatory on all allotment letters to ensure authenticity and prevent tampering.
“The purpose of this decision is to bring transparency, stop the circulation of fake or excess files, and protect citizens from fraudulent practices,” the chairman said.
The Board also decided to constitute a technical committee to review the issuance of the No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the Federal Employees Cooperative Housing Society’s Jinnah Garden (Phase Two).
The Planning Wing briefed the Board on matters related to temporary stalls and kiosks in compliance with Islamabad High Court directions. The Wing was instructed to prepare a clear policy.
Proposed amendments to the Islamabad Land Disposal Regulations 2005 were also reviewed. A committee comprising all Director Generals will be formed to identify procedural delays and streamline processes.
The Board approved forwarding the Islamabad Parks and Horticulture Agency Regulations to the Federal Cabinet.
Prices of plants at the Gardenia Hub will be revised for the first time since 2005, along with special discounts for institutions and CSR-based purchases.
Randhawa reiterated that transparency, accountability and improved service delivery remained top priorities for the CDA, alongside the development and beautification of the federal capital.
