CDA seals KP House over building rule violations

08-10-2024

Staff Report ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has initiated the sealing of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa House in Islamabad, citing violations of building regulations. Multiple blocks of the facility have already been closed down as part of the enforcement action. The decision to seal the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa House was prompted by the administration’s failure to comply with building rules. The CDA had issued several notices to the house’s management regarding the expiry of its lease, with the latest correspondence demanding renewal sent on May 3 of this year. However, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House management took no action. The sealing was executed by Special Magistrate Sardar Muhammad Asif, who was accompanied by Assistant Commissioner Abdullah and a CDA team during the operation. The development comes amid political turmoil. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur recently appeared in the provincial assembly after being unaccounted for over 24 hours.
