CDA Recovers 1,133 Kanals in Sector E-12 After Nearly 40 Years

Islamabad's Capital Development Authority has recovered 1,133 kanals of government land worth billions of rupees in Sector E-12 after nearly 40 years of illegal occupation. The recovery is expected to help speed up the area's long-delayed development.

In this article we set out the land recovered and what the authority says comes next. Here is everything you need to know.

What was recovered in Sector E-12

The area is 1,133 kanals of government land. The value is given only as billions of rupees, not as a single figure. The occupation is described as illegal and as having lasted nearly 40 years. Development that can now move, including infrastructure work, had been long delayed. The CDA says it will also act to prevent future encroachments. No map, owner list, or rupee total is published.

Why it matters

Sector E-12's development had waited through that occupation. Recovering the land is the step the CDA presents as unlocking infrastructure work. The worth stays "billions," and the period stays "nearly 40 years."
