The Defence Housing Authority (DHA) has introduced a regulation that restricts tenants’ access to Nisar Shaheed Park in DHA Phase VI. Concerns have been raised concerning discrimination with this policy.
The housing authority announced this restriction via a tweet, emphasizing the significance of adhering to DHA management standards when entering the park in order to keep it friendly and quiet.

According to the tweet, DHA residents must attend the park with family members and follow a dress code. Visitors must be “appropriately dressed,” which means wearing a sports gear or joggers with a Shalwar Kameez or slacks and a shirt.
Non-DHA residents are not permitted admission, whether accompanied by their family or not. The tweet didn’t say anything about how non-DHA residents would be recognized. DHA spokesperson Farrukh Rizvi did not answer to requests for explanation.
