Representatives of CDA, IESCO, SNGPL, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and others briefed the committee on the steps taken to stop illegal constructions. CDA officials said that around 84 buildings had been built illegally in Sector E-11 of which 41 had been sealed. “CDA took action against the developers and construction companies [building illegal buildings] by blocking their further illegal constructions,” officials said, adding that the respective union councillors had failed in their responsibility to implement building codes. He added that the CDA took action against illegal construction once building codes were approved. CDA officials further told the committee Sector H-13 was being claimed by the cantonment under the ICT Act 1994.
