ISLAMABAD- The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has officially declared Capital Residencia and Royal Gardens, situated on Japan Road in Zone V, Islamabad, as illegal housing schemes.

The CDA expresses concern about the potential threats posed to public life and property due to the non-compliance with ICT Regulations.

It has clarified that the CDA will not be held responsible for any fraudulent activities or losses.
Furthermore, the CDA instructs utility providers, including IESCO, SNGPL, and PTCL, not to connect services to these illegal schemes lacking CDA approval.
