RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA), under the directives of Director General Kinza Murtaza, carried out a significant operation on Wednesday, sealing 15 residential flats and a restaurant in the Mid-City Apartments located on Old Airport Road.
The RDA Enforcement squad, led by key officials including Director Land Ghazanfar Ali Awan, Building Superintendent Fahad Bhatti, and Building Surveyor Malik Aamir Mahmood, sealed the properties after discovering that the flats were being used for commercial purposes in violation of RDA regulations. These activities contravened zoning laws that prohibit such conversions in residential areas.
The operation is part of RDA’s ongoing crackdown on the illegal conversion of residential properties into commercial ventures, aimed at maintaining the integrity of Rawalpindi’s residential zones. The RDA spokesperson stated the authority’s commitment to enforcing zoning laws and ensuring compliance with approved land use and building regulations.
