@SohailAshrafGor Sir, I appreciate CDA's efforts and acknowledge the tremendous job done so far — but respectfully, CDA is the state. When you say "this is the duty of the state," you're describing your own mandate. I've spent half my life in the UK. If someone dares to encroach on public land there, it's not just a matter of vacating — they face heavy fines and are made to pay for the cost of clearing the encroachment themselves. The state doesn't bear that burden; the violator does. That's what credible enforcement looks like, and that's why people think twice before breaking the law. Here, the equation is reversed. People encroach because they know there are no real consequences. Worse, when the encroachment is enabled by negligence or complicity from within CDA's own ranks — as we've seen in D-13, G-12, and Shah Allah Ditta — the message sent to the public is that the system itself doesn't take its own rules seriously. Sir, this isn't about blaming CDA as a whole. CDA has done a tremendous job in bits and Islamabad has immense potential — blessed with one of the most beautiful landscapes any capital city could ask for. But realizing that potential requires each and every person in CDA to pull their socks up. Punish the staff responsible for negligence in these areas. Make examples. Only then will future officers and encroachers alike understand that there are consequences. As a resident of D-12, I can tell you — a prime sector of the capital has roads that remind you of villages, not of a planned city. This is not the Islamabad any of us signed up for. But it can be, if CDA holds itself to the same standard it expects from its citizens.




@AslamChaudhry3 @ahmedaftabm @SohailAshrafGor @CDAthecapital Highly requested! Extremely important matter to be done by the CDA to cater the community from thefting and mishaps!!! It's a basic need of the community who paid the developmental charges in advance to the CDA!

Things like streetlights are basic requirements of any functioning urban center let alone Federal Capital of the country @ChairmanCda @SohailAshrafGor

@AslamChaudhry3 @SohailAshrafGor @CDAthecapital It's been YEARS and the street lights in D-12 are still incomplete. Poles were installed and then the project was simply abandoned. No bulbs, no light, no safety. This is a failure of basic civic duty. Complete this project NOW!








Several franchises have made long-term investments in developing what they got as young talent. Denying them the right to retain players in whom they have invested significant resources would be unfair. Islamabad invested in Shadab Khan, while Lahore did the same with Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi. If teams are not allowed to retain players they have nurtured over the years, it would be unjust and could discourage franchises from investing in young players in the future.
