CDA release complete list of illegal housing societies in Islamabad

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has posted a list of 98 illegal housing schemes on its website.

This move warns citizens about rising property scams in Islamabad. Fraudsters trick buyers with cheap plot deals, leading to big money losses. CDA stresses these schemes lack legal approval and No Objection Certificates (NOCs). They call them unauthorized projects with no right to operate.

Officials urge people to check project status online before investing. Tempting low prices often hide big risks. The list names schemes like Abdullah Garden on Kuri Road, Adil Farms on Simly Dam Road, Al-Rayan Society, Ghouri Town phases on Islamabad Expressway, and many more across areas like Lehtrar Road, Bani Gala, and Park Road. Full details appear on CDA’s site for easy reference.

Property fraud surges nationwide as fake developers promise dream homes that never build. CDA acts under 1960 Ordinance and 1992 Zoning Rules to control city growth. Legal schemes follow two steps: layout plan approval, then full NOC before sales or construction start. CDA recently sealed offices of top illegal societies and paused plot transfers in key sectors.

They advise everyone to verify projects on the official site and report suspects right away. Avoid deals without papers to stay safe. This public alert protects families saving for homes. Scams wipe out life savings, leaving dreams shattered. By sharing the list, CDA empowers buyers to make smart choices.

Residents praise the step as timely help amid tricky markets. It builds trust and cuts fraud. CDA promises ongoing checks and quick action against violators. Stay cautious, check first, invest wise.
