NAB Transfers Rs66 Billion Worth Of Amenity Land To CDA

The National Accountability Bureau has transferred amenity land valued at approximately Rs66 billion to the Capital Development Authority, in a significant asset recovery and restitution action related to ongoing accountability proceedings in Islamabad. The transfer marks one of the larger single land-asset handovers completed by NAB to a civic planning authority in recent years.

Amenity land, which is designated for public use including parks, schools, hospitals, and community facilities, had reportedly been encroached upon or misallocated through transactions under NAB's scrutiny. The transfer to CDA is intended to restore this land to its intended public purpose under the capital's master planning framework.

The CDA is expected to assess the recovered land parcels and determine their development priority within Islamabad's urban planning schedule. Officials indicated that a portion of the transferred land could be earmarked for public amenities that have long been absent in several residential sectors of the capital.

The action reflects NAB's ongoing efforts to convert accountability proceedings into tangible public benefit outcomes, rather than limiting recoveries to financial penalties. For Islamabad residents, the scale of the transfer represents a meaningful, if long-delayed, reclamation of public assets from irregular private interests.
