ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Friday moved against the ‘influentials’ of the capital as it demolished additional structures built on the premises of residential buildings located in Sector F-7, which are being used for business activities.

“We had served notices on the owners but they did not do anything. Therefore, an operation was conduced against the illegal structures,” said CDA spokesman Asim Khichi. “Others should consider their options and stop business activities in the residential areas.”

The CDA team, consisting of officials from the Building Control Section (BCS), enforcement and other formations, removed signboards from 15 houses overlooking Jinnah Super Market, which were being used for commercial activities.
