The issue has become a major concern for citizens, and they have been demanding action from the government.
Encroachment is not a new issue in Islamabad, as it has been prevalent for several years. However, with the increasing population and urbanization, the problem has worsened. The encroachment has not only affected the aesthetic beauty of the city but has also caused several environmental and social issues.
It is also important to mention here, that Capital Development Authority (CDA) has plans to launch over 300 kiosks in different sectors of the capital city to provide a source of income for poor and needy people. Some officials of CDA also opposed this decision and presented the reason for sufficient kiosks placed throughout the city.
The most noticeable areas with growing and uncontrolled encroachments include:
- Abpara Market
- Jinnah Super Market
- F-10 Markaz
- F-8 Markaz
Speaker NA orders actions against encroachments in Islamabad and the Standing Committee on Interior Affairs has been tasked with devising a plan to address this issue, which includes the removal of all encroachments on public spaces and the demolition of unauthorized constructions. The committee will also explore the causes of encroachment and devise a long-term solution to prevent such incidents in the future.
It is pertinent to mention that the issue of encroachment is not limited to Islamabad alone, as it is a nationwide issue. The Speaker’s directive is a step in the right direction, and it is hoped that other cities and towns will also take similar steps to address this issue.
