ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has decided to send a team of officials to a Gulf country to oversee the transfer of an agriculture plot in Islamabad.
According to a newspaper report, three officials from the CDA and one from the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration are set to visit a Gulf country for this purpose.
The plot in Shahzad Town was purchased nearly three decades ago by a former diplomat who later passed away in his home country. The plot is now owned by his family, who are selling it to another citizen of the same country. They requested the CDA to facilitate the transfer abroad instead of requiring them to visit the CDA office in Islamabad.
Following approval by CDA Chairman Mohammad Ali Randhawa, the Human Resource Directorate issued a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the officers’ travel to the country.

“The Chairman of CDA has allowed the Director Estate, Deputy Director Estate, Assistant Director Estate, and an officer from ICT to travel to (country name) on 18-07-2025 to finalize the transfer of an Agriculture Plot in Chack Shahzad, Islamabad,” stated a notification released by the CDA on July 15 (as reported by newspaper).
The expenses for travel, boarding, and lodging of the officers will be covered by the embassy of the country.
One of the officials confirmed that all procedures are being conducted according to rules and regulations. “We are awaiting visas,” he added. He mentioned that the CDA’s property manual allows for the formation of commissions to oversee property transfers, including visits to other cities like Karachi and Lahore.
However, another official noted that this would be the first instance of CDA officials traveling abroad for a property transfer.
