ISLAMABAD: The federal cabinet on Tuesday directed Pakistan’s navy and air force to vacate state land that they had “encroached on”, especially in the federal capital’s National Park area.
“Prime Minister Imran Khan has directed that action be taken against the influential and powerful people as well as organisations that had encroached state land and asked the naval and air force authorities to re-demarcate their boundaries,” Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said in a press conference after the cabinet meeting.
He said that Islamabad Capital Police had also been asked to remove their check-posts from green areas.
“The prime minister wants action to be taken against the powerful who have encroached upon state land,” he added.
The minister said even the Centaurus Mall management had been asked to remove encroachments.
