RAWALPINDI [ NEWS REPORTER]
On the directions of the Director General (DG), Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA), Kinza Murtaza, enforcement squad RDA sealed a warehouse of Savour Foods on Kallar Road Rawat Rawalpindi. According to an RDA spokesperson, the action was taken due to serious violations of land use and construction bylaws.
The enforcement action is part of RDA’s ongoing campaign to ensure strict compliance with zoning and regulatory frameworks across the city. The warehouse was functioning without proper approvals and was in clear violation of existing zoning regulations.
The DG RDA, Kinza Murtaza said RDA is committed to upholding the law and maintaining order in the city’s development. She said we urge all commercial entities to adhere strictly to legal requirements and obtain the necessary approvals before initiating operations.
This decisive move underscores RDA’s zero-tolerance policy towards unauthorized commercial activities and illegal constructions.
She said that the action follows direct instructions from Chief Minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, who has mandated a zero-tolerance policy on encroachments and illegal developments.
The RDA also calls on the public to cooperate in preserving encroachment-free areas and contribute to making Rawalpindi’s streets safer, more accessible, and free of unnecessary congestion, she added.
The operation was conducted by RDA Building Superintendent Shafiqur Rahman, Building Inspectors Shahzad Mahmood, Asim Nawaz, Building Surveyor Aamir Mahmood Malik, and other RDA staff.
