The CDA's action sparked strong condemnation from the party leaders. The operation was fully backed by the capital police.
The authority, in a statement, said that it's anti-encroachment team launched an operation late Thursday to eliminate illegal construction and encroachment. The operation began at around 11:30pm and ended after an hour.
It further said that encroachment by a "political party" was being eliminated and added that the plot was allotted in the name of a person named Sartaj Ali.
