On Wednesday, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) reopened the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) office following a directive from the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
The court had ordered PTI to implement fire safety measures in the building. In response, PTI has agreed to the following arrangements in coordination with CDA officials:
- Installation of fire extinguishers
- Provision of separate water tanks
- Setup of a manual alarm system
- Installation of a gas detector for kitchen safety
- Display of emergency contact numbers
- Regular maintenance of electrical wiring
Earlier, the CDA anti-encroachment team, supported by the district administration, conducted an operation to address alleged encroachments and unauthorized constructions at PTI’s central secretariat. This operation included demolishing parts of the PTI central secretariat due to the removal of illegal structures.
The operation resulted in clashes between PTI workers and police, leading to legal actions against political workers involved in the confrontations.
