Islamabad: CDA detects 839 houses being used for commercial purposes
A detailed survey of federal capital residential areas, conducted by Capital Development Authority, has detected 839 houses being used for commercial purposes in complete violation of CDA by-laws of 1993.

Following the direction of Chairman CDA Imtiaz Inayat Ellahi, the Authority has so far managed the vacation of 107 non-conforming houses being used for commercial purposes, said CDA Spokesman Syed Mustafain Kazmi.

An amount of Rs500,000 each as fine was also imposed on 87 infringers besides cancelling the allotments of other 11 violators, whereas the cases for allotment cancellation of 84 plots are under process as per the laid procedure.

In the wake of the growing tendency amongst citizens regarding the use of residential houses for commercial purposes, CDA initiated action against such violators to discourage the non-confirming use of residential buildings. During the campaign, many occupants who were planning to start commercial activity at residential premises decided not to violate the rules. On the other hand, a segment of violators are in the habit of going into litigation against CDA whenever any notice and action is initiated against them.

The spokesman said CDA served notices to all 87 guesthouses operating in the federal capital. However, these guesthouses managed to get stay orders from the courts of law on one or the other pretext. CDA, however, got vacated seven stay orders, and accordingly stopped the commercial use of these houses.

The spokesman reiterated that CDA is fully committed to take action against the violators to stop the non-confirming use of residential buildings. The civic body is concentrating on a comprehensive strategy to check the misuse of residential buildings in different sectors of the capital.

As per policy, the owners of residential buildings being used for commercial purposes are served with notices to stop this unauthorised practice. In case of non-compliance, the cases of the infringers would be referred to the CDA deputy commissioner for further necessary action.
