ISLAMABAD, Jan 21 (APP):The district administration has removed 223 illegal cabins built outside homes across the federal capital as part of an ongoing drive against encroachments, according to an official report released on Wednesday.
The operation was carried out in several sectors, including F-6, F-7, F-10, and other areas of the city.
The report said assistant commissioners conducted operations in their respective jurisdictions after receiving clear directions from the Deputy Commissioner Islamabad.
The aim of the campaign is to clear public spaces and ensure that no structures are placed outside residential properties in violation of the law.
According to the district administration, the action targeted cabins that had been set up outside houses without permission. These structures were found occupying footpaths, green belts, and other public areas meant for common use. The administration stated that such encroachments cause problems for residents and restrict public movement.
The operation was carried out with the support of teams from the District Municipal Administration (DMA), Capital Development Authority (CDA), and the Islamabad Police. Officials said joint teams were formed to ensure smooth execution of the drive and to maintain order during the removal process.
Deputy Commissioner Islamabad directed all assistant commissioners to take action without discrimination. He made it clear that no individual or area would be treated differently during the campaign. “There is no permission for anyone to build a cabin or any structure outside their house in the form of an encroachment,” the Deputy Commissioner said while issuing instructions to field officers.
He further stated that encroachments, regardless of their nature or location, would be removed in all cases. The administration emphasized that public land cannot be used for private purposes and that strict action would continue against violations.
Officials said the drive against illegal cabins is part of a broader effort to improve management of public spaces in the capital. The district administration plans to continue inspections in other sectors to identify and remove similar structures.
The administration also appealed to citizens to cooperate with authorities. The Deputy Commissioner urged residents to inform the administration about encroachments in their areas. He said public support is important to ensure timely action and to prevent the reappearance of illegal structures.
Residents were advised not to set up cabins, stalls, or any form of construction outside their homes. The administration warned that such structures would be removed, and legal action could also be taken where necessary.
