ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has officially begun issuing on-the-spot fines to individuals and organisations found littering or spreading garbage across Islamabad.
From November 18 to 25, 2025, CDA teams issued challans in multiple sectors and areas, including E-11, I-8, I-10, G-10, F-7, G-9, F-10, F-11, G-11, F-6, G-6, Bhara Kahu, and Lehtrar Road.
A CDA official stated, “Islamabad is everyone’s city. We urge all residents to dispose of waste only in designated bins and avoid littering. Citizens are requested to immediately report any violations so that collective action can keep the capital clean and green.”
The authority warned that fines will continue to be imposed without exception, and the campaign will gradually expand to all sectors of the city.
In a separate development, on November 13, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry, Inspector General of Islamabad Police, and Deputy Commissioner Islamabad outlined new initiatives under the Safe City Project aimed at enhancing security across the capital.
Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry said during a media talk that the government is intensifying efforts to strengthen the Safe City Project and ensure comprehensive security across the capital.
The Inspector General of Islamabad Police announced that a new program titled “Safe Neighbour” is being launched under the Safe City Project to collect comprehensive data of citizens, including visitors to residential areas. The data will be used to verify and respond swiftly to any security concerns.
At the time of announcement, Deputy Commissioner Islamabad said that a house-to-house survey will start from November 17, with police teams accompanying district officials.
The survey will map the location and residents of every household on Google Maps. Authorities have urged citizens to fully cooperate with the teams to help make Islamabad a model safe city.
Chaudhry said that no vehicle or motorcycle will be allowed to enter Islamabad without an electronic tag, while a complete monitoring system for all types of vehicles is being developed.
