Islamabad: Aug 28 /DNA/ – During the first phase of survey against non-conforming use of agro farms, the Capital Development Authority conducted survey of 126 Agro Farms for verification of conformity and development. These forms are located in various Agro-Farming areas of Islamabad including Park Road Chak Shahzad, Kahuta Road, Murree Road, Tarlai Kalan and Sehana.

After detailed survey, it was found that 25 of the surveyed agro farms have building violations. The allottees of these farms were communicated through notices regarding non-conformity of land use. Out of these, 15 have submitted their documents which are being examined by Building Control Section of Capital Development Authority while remaining 10 have failed to submit their relevant documents.

The violators have been served with Final Show Cause Notices prior to cancellation along with directions to submit their documents within seven days, otherwise action would be initiated according to Building Bye-laws and regulations of CDA.

This swift action of Capital Development Authority impacted those who instead of producing agricultural products have built palatial houses on the land in violation of Building Regulations and they have either requested time to bring their properties in conformity or have complied with. The CDA Survey Teams will continue conducting survey of remaining Agro-Farms and will be completed within fifteen (15) days.
