The Capital Development Authority (CDA) in Islamabad has been tasked with recovering significant dues from non-compliant housing societies within a four-month timeframe. According to Business Recorder, the CDA has only managed to collect Rs 45 million out of a staggering Rs 2.3 billion in penalties imposed on various housing societies for failing to adhere to the capital's civic regulations. This issue was discussed during a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting, chaired by Shahida Akhtar Ali, where the Audit Report of 2023-24 from the Ministry of Interior was examined. The CDA has issued No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to 24 housing societies and approved Layout Plans (LOPs) for 50 societies, highlighting the scope of the problem. Member Tariq Fazal Chaudry pointed out that delays in completing family suites in parliamentary lodges were partly due to a political sit-in by PTI in 2014, illustrating the long-standing challenges in urban development and governance in Islamabad.
