Islamabad:
Often praised by its serene beauty, its clean surroundings and its well -planned infrastructure is increasingly losing its charm due to the unofficial propagation of the invasions.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the G -8 sector, once considered a Pacific residential neighborhood, which has now transformed into a chaotic and congested area, plagued by exhibition rooms of unauthorized cars, sellers and improvised stores that occupy public spaces.
Invasions are not simply monstrosity; They raise serious challenges for law and order, traffic flow, pedestrian movement and residents’ quality of life. In G-8, the problem has reached alarming levels.
The paths destined for pedestrians now house exhibition rooms and illegal workshops. The streets are obstructed with double print vehicles, without leaving space for residents to estimate their own cars near their homes.
With the pavements invaded by commercial activity, women, children and the elderly are forced to walk along the roads, putting their safety at constant risk. Local residents complain that they have repeatedly raised the problem with the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP), but it was in vain. The operations are carried out occasionally by the CDA execution wing: excavators are brought, improvised structures are dragged and severe warnings are issued.
However, in a matter of days, the same illegal configurations reappear. This recurring cycle has led many to claim that some CDA officials are complicit in this issue. According to reports, bribes are paid under the table, which allows invaders to resume their activities after an application sample. This is not just rumors.
Several accounts of eyewitnesses and media reports have indicated a well -established link between some elements within the civic administration and those involved in illegal commercial activities.
The absence of lasting application only strengthens this suspicion. In addition, the Traffic Police, which should actively participate in the regulation of the movement of the vehicle and ensure that parking laws are respected, seem to have turned a blind eye to the problem.
In fact, its lack of proactive commitment has been one of the factors contributed to the un controlled growth of invasions. On the contrary, Punjab has recently carried out a highly effective anti-encurreacho impulse, particularly in cities such as Lahore, Faisalabad and Rawalpindi. Illegal kiosks, constructions and obstacles have been eliminated, and the authorities recover hundreds of public land kanals. It is important to note that this impulse has shown consistency, something dazzling absent in Islamabad.
