The authority has warned that failure to comply with the legal requirements could result in further action, including the possible sealing of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice was reportedly issued after CDA officials identified concerns regarding the approval of the madrassa&#8217;s construction plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CDA Raises Concerns Over Unapproved Construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the CDA, the building of Madrassa Akhtar-ul-Uloom was constructed without obtaining the necessary approval for its architectural and construction plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authority stated that the alleged violation falls under the Islamabad Capital Territory Building Control Regulations 2020, which govern construction activities within the federal capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under these regulations, building owners and management authorities are required to follow applicable construction procedures and obtain the necessary approvals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CDA maintains that compliance with building regulations is essential to ensure that construction projects meet legal and administrative requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of Madrassa Akhtar-ul-Uloom, the authority has requested the relevant documentation to address the concerns raised about the building&#8217;s approval status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Madrassa Administration Given 15 Days to Respond<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CDA has instructed the madrassa administration to submit the required building plans to the relevant department within 15 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the notice, the institution must take the necessary steps to fulfill the legal requirements associated with its construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authority has warned that failure to provide the required documents or address the alleged violations within the specified period may lead to enforcement action under the relevant regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the possible measures mentioned in the notice is the sealing of the madrassa building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the warning does not mean that the building has already been sealed. The administration has been given an opportunity to respond and address the regulatory concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Madrassa Reportedly Affiliated With JUI-F<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrassa Akhtar-ul-Uloom is reportedly associated with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, the political party led by Maulana Fazlur Rehman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice, however, concerns the building&#8217;s construction approval and compliance with CDA regulations rather than the political or religious activities of the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authority&#8217;s reported action is based on the alleged absence of approved construction plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The supplied report does not include an official response from the madrassa administration or JUI-F regarding the notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also remains unclear whether the administration has previously submitted any building-related documentation or intends to challenge the CDA&#8217;s position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building Regulations in Islamabad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Capital Development Authority is responsible for various planning, development and building control functions within Islamabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Construction projects falling under its jurisdiction must comply with applicable building regulations and approval procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These requirements are intended to regulate construction activities, ensure proper planning and maintain compliance with established standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where a building is found to be in violation of the relevant rules, the authority may initiate enforcement proceedings in accordance with the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the nature of any action depends on the specific violation, the applicable legal provisions and the response submitted by the concerned parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, the CDA has initially issued a notice and provided a deadline for the submission of the required documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further Action Depends on Compliance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The future of the matter will depend on whether the madrassa administration submits the required construction plans and satisfies the CDA&#8217;s regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the administration complies within the given period, the authority may review the submitted documents before determining whether additional action is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the alleged violations remain unresolved, the CDA has warned that legal proceedings and possible sealing of the building could follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, the reported development is limited to the issuance of a formal notice and a warning of potential enforcement action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further details are expected after the 15-day deadline or following an official response from the madrassa administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case highlights the importance of compliance with construction regulations for institutions and buildings operating within Islamabad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has issued a notice to Madrassa Akhtar-ul-Uloom, reportedly affiliated with Maulana
