The CDA also shared a copy of the challan on its social media account.
The action followed a citizen’s complaint and a video shared on social media showing a vehicle being washed on a road.
The matter was raised in the context of growing dengue concerns in Islamabad, particularly in G-11/2, Street 78 and adjoining areas, where roadside vehicle washing has been highlighted as a potential concern.
The citizen called for immediate action from the Chief Commissioner and CDA chairman to address the issue.
