The Lahore Development Authority has planned to formulate an online data base system regarding sale or allotment of plots in approved private housing schemes that would be linked to its website to keep the general public informed.
The move aims to protect the people from being defrauded and to safeguard their life-savings. LDA Director General Ahad Cheema issued the direction while chairing a meeting to review the duties and responsibilities of Metropolitan Planning Wing of LDA, on Thursday.
He ordered the Chief Metropolitan Planner Waseem Ahmad Khan for providing details of mortgaged plots as well as public utility sites in all the approved and unapproved private housing schemes to the Revenue Department for necessary entries in the Revenue record in order to stop illegal transaction of property and to protect the rights of LDA and private buyers.
The DG further directed that auction proceedings of plots should be started so that provision of physical infrastructure and other basic facilities could be ensured to the residents of these localities. He ordered to submit necessary draft amendments for imposing fine at the rate of Rs 10,000 per kanal, per annum, for total area of such scheme which failed to complete development works within the stipulated time period.
He directed the director administration to immediately make the newly established directorate of private housing schemes functional per directions of the Supreme Court.
