Margalla Enclave Development to Finish by Year-End in Islamabad

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi visited Margalla Enclave on Monday to assess the ongoing development of the residential project, a collaboration between the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and Defence Housing Authority (DHA). The scheme is being developed on 10,000 kanals of CDA land in the Kuri area, with an agreement allocating 55% of developed plots to CDA and 45% to DHA. DHA has invited applications for plot allotments, with balloting set to take place after the February 14, 2025, deadline. During the visit, it was decided that half of the development work would be completed by August 14, while the entire project would be finalized by December 31 before granting possession. Naqvi instructed authorities to accelerate the construction, ensure optimal resource utilization, and build a new road connecting to Margalla Enclave. He also stressed that travel time from the Prime Minister’s residence should not exceed five minutes. Officials informed the minister that the housing scheme offers plots ranging from 5 marlas to 1 kanal. A lake is also planned as part of the project. Meanwhile, CDA is set to auction its share of plots in the coming months.
