*ISLAMABAD - 44 housing societies in Islamabad have been declared illegal by Islamabad administration.*
*The owners of these housing societies in Islamabad never took the permission of the Capital Development Authority or got their layout approved. *
The development authority revealed this in a report submitted to the Supreme Court on Saturday. The court had ordered the forensic audit of 44 housing societies in Zone 2, Zone 5, and E-11.
Only one out of 44 housing societies took the no-objection certificate from the CDA. The court ordered cancellation of the layout of 11 societies, including six in Zone 2 and five in Zone 5.
The plan for any society cannot be approved without the permission of the planning division, according to the building control department.
