At a meeting convened by HRCP in Islamabad, activists, lawyers, political workers and citizens urged superior court judges to uphold the Supreme Court’s 2015 stay order against summary evictions of katchi abadis, safeguarding the constitutional right to housing for the urban poor. The call comes amid an ongoing demolition drive by the @CDAthecapital, targeting Muslim and Christian settlements and historic villages including Saidpur, Malpur and Nurpur Shahan. HRCP and allied organisations, including the All-Pakistan Alliance for Katchi Abadis, National Commission for Justice and Peace, @AwamiWorkers Party, @Aurat_marchisb and others, criticised the CDA’s anti-poor approach and failure to provide adequate low-cost housing, noting that only one limited scheme has been launched in the city since 2000, despite a katchi abadi population of around 500,000. They demanded that informal settlements be recognised and regularised, warning that demolitions deepen the housing crisis. Emphasising that housing is a fundamental right under Article 9, they called for an end to forced evictions, respect for court orders, and due process in all cases.
@RandhawaAli In your 2-year tenure, you completely ignored Sector I-14. No water supply, no street lights, and roads are in ruins—yet residents are paying full taxes. This is sheer negligence.
@CDAthecapital @CDASectorI_14 @RandhawaAli I informed the supervisor, but the garbage remains and no action has been taken. Unfortunately, Sector I-14 continues to be ignored despite our repeated reminders on this forum.
for info and necessary action please. @CDAthecapital @RandhawaAli Location: Street 7, Sector I-14/2, IBD
@CDAthecapital @CaptainUsman @dcislamabad @PakPMO please have a look on sector sector I-14 streets condition. almost all streets needs repair work.
