— The Capital Development Authority has given Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s residence in Islamabad’s G-6 sector 15 days to remove a guards’ room and other construction it says is unauthorised and illegal.

A warning notice from the authority’s Directorate of Building Control (City), dated Friday and pasted outside the house, lists three violations of the Islamabad Capital Territory Building Control Regulations: construction in the building’s setbacks, a guard post built on CDA land, and a generator placed on CDA land, Dawn reported.

According to the notice, the owner submitted an affidavit on March 18, 2019, when a no-objection certificate was issued, undertaking to remove the setback violations within three months and to follow all regulations. “However, it has been noticed that no compliance is made,” the CDA said.

If the violations are not removed within the deadline, the authority said it could seal or demolish the structures and begin proceedings to cancel the allotment of the property under the CDA Ordinance and the building control regulations.

There was no immediate comment from the JUI-F.
