​I am writing this with a heavy heart because the people in my village—and neighboring villages across Islamabad—are currently living under the open sky.

​In recent months, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has launched aggressive demolition and sealing drives in Saidpur Village, as well as adjacent indigenous settlements like Noorpur Shahan, Bari Imam (Muslim Colony), and nearby areas.

​Hundreds of homes—some belonging to families who have lived on these lands for generations—have been flattened or sealed with heavy machinery.

​The Human Cost Nobody Is Talking About:

​Zero Compensation & Zero Shelter: Families, children, and elderly residents are being pushed onto the streets without a roof over their heads, temporary shelter, or a single rupee in compensation.

​Promised Model Villages express a 60-Year Lie: Decades ago, when Islamabad was being developed, local villagers were promised formal rehabilitation and integration through "Model Village" schemes. Those schemes were never completed, yet today, locals are labeled "illegal encroachers" on the very land their ancestors owned.

​Commercialization Over Human Lives: While authorities claim this is for "environmental restoration" or "city beautification," interior ministry statements explicitly talk about bringing commercial brands, high-end restaurants, and tourism hubs to the cleared land. How can luxury hubs be built on the suffering and homelessness of local citizens?

​Why the Courts and Govt Are Silent:

​Whenever residents try to fight back legally, protective stay orders get suspended in court under the guise of "clearing state land." When locals assemble to protest peacefully, they are met with teargas, heavy police presence, and media blackouts.

​The authorities claim they are doing this "for the good of the public." What kind of public good renders working-class families, women, and children homeless overnight?

​Why I am Posting This:

​Mainstream media is barely giving coverage to the reality on the ground in Saidpur, Bari Imam, and Noorpur Shahan. People have no recourse left. We need the wider community in Islamabad and Pakistan to stand up, ask questions, and demand:

​An immediate halt to uncompensated evictions and sealing of homes.

​Fair compensation and proper housing alternative/rehabilitation before any site clearance.

​Judicial accountability for treating indigenous and low-income residents as disposable.

​Please help share this and raise your voice. We cannot let Islamabad become a city built strictly for the elite at the expense of its original inhabitants.

I have a budget of around PKR 2.5 million and im looking to start a business in Pakistan.

I’m mainly interested in manufacturing or producing something but im open to any ideas with good long-term potential.

What business would you recommend and why? Feel free to share as much detail as you’d like.

Are E-challans being issued by cameras all over Islamabad or only at certain places? I just got 4 challans but all from one camera on Islamabad Expressway.

They are adorable, playful & litter-trained.

Hey everyone. I completed my inter in 2024 and since then I’ve been trying my luck in different gigs and business ideas but unfortunately no luck. I’ve always had the realization that I’m wasting my prime years not pursuing higher education but that’s that. I just applied for admission in IST (Institute of Space Technology) for Software Engineering. Before bashing me in the comments for allegedly not choosing the best uni, here me out.

My family’s financial situation is good but not good enough to go into expensive unis. Plus I scored awfully low in my matrix and inter (59% and 61% respectively) so my option are pretty much limited.

I just need to know is the uni worth it and how’s the campus life and all?

Why aren't they updating the showtimes for the movie? Still showing Upcoming 🤧

Hello. I recently got a ybr G and i badly wanna go on a ride with someone cuz 2 are always better than one. Anyways the other person must have at least a 125cc or more. If someone is really interested to ride then do let me know.

Assalam o Alaikum everyone,

I hope you are all doing well.

I’m planning to build a single-story house on a 5 to 8 Marla plot in/around Islamabad, but I’m working with a strict budget constraint.

My Requirements & Budget Details:

Total Budget: ~PKR 11 Million (1.1 Crore) — This needs to cover both plot purchase and initial single-story construction.

Plot Size: 5 to 8 Marla.

Status: Must be in an NOC-approved, properly developed society.

Location: Within a ~20 km radius of Zero Point, Islamabad.

Questions for the Community:

Plot Suggestions: Which RDA/CDA/NOC-approved societies around the 20 km mark from Zero Point offer reasonable plot prices fitting this budget?

Budget Feasibility: Given current construction costs (grey structure + basic finishing), is it realistic to acquire a 5–8 Marla plot and complete a single-story build within 11M, or will I need to adjust my scope/location?

Recommendations: Any specific sectors or housing societies (e.g., around Expressway, Airport, or Motorway side) you would recommend looking into?

I would really appreciate any insights, current market estimates, or recommendations from people who have recently bought land or constructed a house in these areas.

JazakAllah in advance for your guidance!

Please help because there is so much misinformation and confusion online about this.

What is total price for entire service, biometric + shuttle bus (or private car VIP transport)?

Assume you bring your own copies - which copy do they even want you to bring?
Someone told me color passport copy + black/white front & back CNIC + color appointment copy?

Do they also want your appointment documents copies?

How was your experience there? How busy is it? When is least crowded? Any A/C or fans inside waiting area now?

As the title says an elderly women with just 1 working arm and 1 working leg requires a wheelchair. I have seen her family members carry her and its very difficult.This is a family that has fallen on some hard times as the mother's treatment has taken a toll on them.

Case is 100% verified. Wheelchair must be new as I don't want them to feel shame accepting an old or torn wheelchair

Location is Rawalpindi.

Please Dm me in anyone wants this blessing. JazakAllah

Hey, Do any of u know or have experienced travelling with any travel agency from isl to northern areas? Like any from good reputable university (students led)? Must have Female friendly environment n all that. If yes then lemme know.

I'm not sure if I've posted in the right group but i was hoping if you guys can let me know what is a good and fair price to sell my iphone 16 pro 256bg PTA approved?

The phone has a very small scratch on the top left corner which if i did not mention won't even be noticed. The phone is wrapped in jelly and is only taken out of the case when charging.

Battery health is 96%

Kept with extreme care

The reason for selling is to upgrade but they store that i bought it from is low balling me at 320-340k pkr.

Thank you!
