Six years and counting: Sector I-15 awaits development

Though the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has started the development work on the recently-launched Park Enclave housing project to earn Rs 10 billion, it is yet to hire a contractor to undertake development in Sector I-15, for which people paid millions to the authority several years ago.
“The authority had launched Sector I-15 in 2005 for provision of housing facility to low income groups, but the dream of low income-earning people to have a house in the federal capital has gone down the drain, as the authorities are yet to hire a contractor for developing the sector. The finance wing of the civic body has already spent most of the revenue generated from selling plots in Sector I-15 over the development of other projects, therefore, they are unable to start the much-awaited development of Sector I-15,” an official source said.
He said that after launching the residential sector in year 2005, the CDA pledged to develop 5,560 plots and 8,000 flats in the sector and earned Rs 150 million from the sale of more or less 300,000 brochures.
The official said the CDA had fixed 54 percent quota in Sector I-15 for the general public, 20 percent for the affected people of Islamabad, 10 percent for non commissioned officers of the Pakistan Army, 10 percent for the employees of the federal government from BPS-1 to BPS-15, five percent for CDA employees and one percent for journalists working in the twin cities.
The official said Sector I-15 had been launched to resolve the housing problems of low income groups who had a maximum annual income of Rs 150,000.
The sector has a total of 13,500 housing units on 5,500 plots of five to seven marlas and 8,000 flats.
He pointed out that this inordinate delay in the development of new sectors would further aggravate the housing shortage in the capital city, as Islamabad was currently facing a shortage of 40,000 units that had badly inflated real estate prices in the city.
CDA Public Relation Deputy Director Ramzan Sajid said the authority would soon hire a contractor for developing Sector I-15.
He said the CDA was engaged in negotiation with a Chinese state-owned firm for developing the residential sector and the contract agreement was likely to be signed soon.
Sajid said three companies took part in the pre-qualification process, but the Chinese firm came out successful as the other two did not offer a bid.

  1. I think the only solution is that all the effecties of I 15 Islamabad should stage a protest against CDA and corden the building and concerned higher authority, and fored then to either start development work without further delay or allot plots/flats in other sector in Islamanad.

  2. THIS IS NOT FAIR WITH THOSE POOR PEOPLES WHO PAID FOR PLOTS AND FLATS IN I 15 , WHEN GOVERNMENT CHANGING ALL CDA PRIORITIES ALSO CHANGING WITH THEM. CDA AND THEIR CHAIRMAN ARE LIKE PUPET. THEY ARE SLEEPING AND TAKING BADWISHES FROM POORS.

    • Hey guys. I am going to file a suit againt CDA. Please contact who so ever is interested to be included in the lawsuit. Raza 0301-8582515.

      plz note that relief is given to only those persons who approached the court. Its a very strong case and i am filing a writ in the Islamabad High court.

      so please hurryup.

  4. CHIEF JUSTICE SUPREME COURT IS ONLY AFTER ZARDARI NOT LOOKING THE REAL PUBLIC ISSUES. WHAT CJ HAS DONE TO BANKERS CITY AFTER HEARING THE CASE FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR. CJ AND OTHER JUDGES ALSO GET PLOTS FROM CDA AFTER RETIREMENT.

  5. I have a flat in that sector and i have paid off the full amount….and i feel really disappointed watching my investment losing value by three or four times because of such a high inflation. If i were in pakistan, i would have gone for a lawsuit against CDA. I ll do that inshallah whenever I am back in paki land. I will claim damages to my investment……i dont care how much hassle i have to go through cuz of crippling justice system. I will try to teach these CDA officials a lesson for future. One of us would have to do it one day…for others

    • Zeeshan, we all should file and case against the CDA, they are building the next sector I-16 but nothing happening in !-15

    • Yes,Zeeshan Bhai you are right i am also with you and also living abroad,You tell me what shall we do those kind of cheeter people they should be hanged.

      Please reply
      Kind Regards,

    • Hello Zeeshan

      This is extreme of irresponsibility at the part of CDA and extreme of immunity these people have. They are refunding without any information to allotees. A vague news has posted on the site.. if someone like to reimburse…. why? No news about abandonment of the project.
      I am filing a lawsuit/writ. anybody who is interested may contact me ASAP…Raza 03018582515.
      This is fit case for punitave action and refund with compound interest along with compensation commensurate with devaluation.

      so please inform anybody who is interested. The more appealants, the stronger the case. we are already 12 but should be more.

    • Dear Zeeshan. Greetings to you. You are very right but even a courts are helpless in the hands of this corrupt system. We need a real mission and commitment and team to bring a change.

  8. I heard that CDA is planning to construct 10 storey flats instead of 4 storey flats,as promised earlier.No way we are going to accept this.I can not live in high rise towers due to medical issues. If CDA could not start the constuction on time,this is their headache.They should realise that cost of construction would increase. If I have to seek the justice through the court, I will never hesitate.

  9. The allot-tees should approach Supreme Court and demand compensation from the the CDA. Let us donate one hundred each and hire a competent lawyer

  10. Lets form a committee and then hire good lawyers to fight this case. US Dollar was around Rs.56 back in 2005 and now is around 87 and only this difference makes us suffer great investment loss and then the cost of lands comparing in other sectors also doubles our loss. Pakistan is a country where nobody cares about other's rights, only way to fight this is to fight within the current judiciary system and I'm sure united we can do it. Is there anybody who can form a committee of affectee's of I-15 and file a suit with the Supreme Court?

  11. i think the only solution is to move supreme court and requesting it to direct cda to complete construction and development work within a year from the first day of fixation of the same and to wait for the positive report till then otherwise to punish the concerned officer for the contempt and finally to dispose of the case by directing the government to pay compensation according to inflation rate for the amount deposited by each allotee

  18. What the Hell is this.. 🙁 PleasE Do somethinG…. you all Effecty people give me your complete contact number…. then we arrange meeting or get together to take some effective steps against CDA… then we decide to do something against CDA…. plz contact me via mail: [email protected]

  19. I will suggest to create a page on facebook and get together there, donate money and take legal action against CDA

  22. Thely CJ is only authority to resolve the problem of I-15 effecties by taking a bold step initiation with CDA Chairman and will win the hearts and prays of these effecties.

  23. I think we all should go to supreme court and claim for our financial loses and mental tourcher given by cda to all of us.

  24. I think it will be good to collect details of all affecties of I-15 and form a committee of some active members who are living in islamabad r near islamabad and collect money to hire a good lawyer and start case against CDA,as if they start constrction then they will ask for price increase,because of increase in construction materials cost and labour .but they will not look their profit which they earn in the form of interest for 6 years.

  26. It is highly disappointment for CDA_15 allottees those were suppose to be hand over flats in 2008 and after 6-7 years the work has not been started .All CDA authorties are deserved severes punishment.On the other hand cda is using alotees amounts and doing business. They are returning back amount only the original amount 1400000 they should return back the amount to allottees with markeet rate interst.,After 7 years they should return back 300000.
    Shame for CDA chairman. concerened people involved in this business.

  28. All the effecties are hereby informed, that i15 is the project of low income group and the govt have much more priorities, which are more important like, renovation of kitchen in pm house, making an ASTABAL in presidency and much more, so all of you are requested to sleep and wait for your awaking. ha ha ha…..

  31. I know this web page gives quality dependent articles or reviews and extra information, is there any other site which gives
    such stuff in quality?

  32. I have noticed that over the course of making a relationship with real
    estate homeowners, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in most real estate purchase, a percentage is paid. Finally, FSBO sellers don’t “save” the payment. Rather, they try to win the commission by way of doing a agent’s work. In completing this task, they commit their money and also time to conduct, as best they are able to, the responsibilities of an real estate agent. Those obligations include displaying the home by marketing, presenting the home to all buyers, developing a sense of buyer urgency in order to prompt an offer, arranging home inspections, controlling qualification investigations with the loan company, supervising fixes, and assisting the closing of the deal.

  33. I add as :
    1. Lets we all affectees be called as ( I-15 FAMILY ) not committee
    2. any one joininig the I-15 FAMILY should recieve a warm well come.
    3. we should forward suggestion and keep on adding to asimple single LIST—- called SUGGESTION LIST
    4 Please some should farward a complain APPLICATION WITH FULL DETAILS TO NAB WHO ARE PEOPLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM INCOUPLE OF DAYS INSHALLAH
    REGARDS TO I-15 Family

  34. Yes , this has been a biggest fraud with us low income people that is why not one is bothering…… they are neither building the sector I-15 nor refunding the investment paid several years ago. If a govt. organisation is doing such to its people , then who will trust others…. Mr. Zardari, if your govt. can do some thing for low income people, take help from Malik Riaz who is spending millions for aids in TV for his social activities , he can help you in this But ……. Bhutto Ajj bhi zinda ha…

  36. think the only solution is to move supreme court and requesting it to direct cda to complete construction and development work within a year from the first day of fixation of the same and to wait for the positive report till then otherwise to punish the concerned officer for the contempt and finally to dispose of the case by directing the government to pay compensation according to inflation rate for the amount deposited by each allotee

    sources back to your website? My website is in the very same

  40. I was a school and i spend my 14years saving and my jewellery for this flat i am not on job now . that is only greed of our leaders they are still hungry , awaiting miracle ?

  43. I intended to post you the little bit of remark so as
    to say thanks as before considering the magnificent tips you have discussed at this time.
    It was certainly unbelievably open-handed with people like you to supply extensively what exactly a number of us could possibly have marketed
    for an electronic book to make some dough on their own, especially given that
    you might have done it in the event you wanted. The good tips also worked like a great way
    to be aware that other people have the identical dream just like my personal own to
    realize a great deal more with regards to this problem.

    I’m sure there are numerous more fun opportunities in the future for folks who check out your blog.

    in 3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster

    then most. Can you recommend a good hosting provider

    at a honest price? Many thanks, I appreciate it!

  47. Multi million land free for Zardari in Lahore by Malik Riyaz but despite paying hard earned money for I-15 plots and flats, nothing is allotted even after 7+ years… what a lawlessness…. and so much so is that no authority to listen to the poors… .what happened to to committee and to file a suit against CDA in Supreme Court or NAB? Somebody has to take initiative. I can't as I'm abroad now 🙁

  48. I love what you guys are up too. This sort of clever work and coverage!

    Keep up the awesome works guys I’ve included you guys to our blogroll.

  49. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the

    layout of your website? Its very well written; I love

    what youve got to say. But maybe you could a

    little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1

    or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  53. If somebody have the complete list of all the allottes kindly send it to me to convert it into the movement rather than to sit in dormant mood. Because i have a great fear that this project was started in the era of Musharaf and no one will own in in future. so what we need to do is to convert it in proper movement to get some confirmation from the upcoming Govt, otherwise we cant get even a sq foot in Islamabad. Please i need the help of all the members of the forum to put in hard rock movement. Please reply

  54. I used to think spell was evil but after Ken left me for another lady. I felt open-minded to try it. Maybe I was desperate too. But this is real!Sir Guru Maharaji restored the love we had for each other.He casted a spell on ken assuring me that on the third day,ken will come begging.Truly to my greatest surprise,ken
    came back begging on the third day.Thank you Sir Guru Maharaji,as your spell restored my ken back to me and things are going much better now. I don't know exactly what to say. I just want to testify that your work is really powerful.
