Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has accelerated its ongoing operation against illegal construction and encroachments, said RDA spokesman here on Sunday. He informed that the authority taking a significant step to curb illegal construction and enhancing the monitoring of private housing schemes had appointed two new superintendents and four surveyors. The appointments are part of the RDA’s ongoing efforts to ensure strict compliance with building regulations and to protect the urban environment. The newly appointed officials would play a critical role for field surveillance, ensuring that all construction activities within the RDA’s jurisdiction adhere to approved plans and legal requirements.

The two new superintendents, known for their extensive experience in urban development, would lead the teams responsible for overseeing field operations. Their expertise would be crucial in identifying and taking immediate action against unauthorised construction activities, the spokesman said. He said that the four surveyors, equipped with modern tools and techniques, were conducting regular inspections of private housing schemes and their task would be to ensure that these schemes comply with the RDA’s regulations, helping to prevent any illegal expansions or alterations that could compromise the city’s infrastructure and planning.
