The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) is preparing the final version of a summary seeking control of all private housing schemes in the provincial metropolis through certain amendments to the Punjab Private Housing Schemes and land Sub-Division Rules of 2010.
Officials say the city’s leading civic body wanted to deal with all private housing schemes by limiting the role of the City District Government of Lahore (CGDL) and its nine town municipal administrations (TMAs). LDA has criticised the CDGL and TMAs for not abiding by Lahore’s master plan in approval of schemes in their territorial and revenue jurisdiction. An earlier draft of the summary was approved in 2012 by the then chief minister.
The LDA accused TMAs of sanctioning private housing schemes such as Green City, Paragon City, State Life Housing Scheme (phase-II) and Anmol Housing Scheme in violation of the master plan. “Grand Avenue has also been approved by the Nishtar Town in the green area in violation of the plan,” it said.
The report also claims that LDA has successfully sanctioned 240 schemes in accordance with rules, and boasts of professional manpower unlike TMAs. It alleges that TMAs have failed to show efficiency against developers whereas LDA has taken over schemes that were not completed on time.
LDA DG Dr Ijaz Munir said the summary was being made a final draft. He defended the move, saying: “Towns are not following the master plan-2021. The rules are not being followed in green areas of the city where no scheme can be launched. Similarly, towns are not objecting to flaws in drawings and maps of service roads leading to major roads.”
The CGDL officials on the other hand are strongly opposing the summary. An official privy to the development said CDGL officials were shocked at LDA’s move clipping the role of the CDGL and its towns. He pointed out that schemes like LDA Avenue-1 and Gujjarpura had still not been completed and there were many incidents of fraud and tampering of records in LDA’s schemes.
“The LDA means an authority to ensure execution of development works in its controlled areas. But contrary to this, the LDA is playing the role of a property dealer or a developer,” the official said.
He said the LDA should have recommended building capacity of TMAs rather than scrapping their scope of work. “TMAs consume around Rs1 billion annually while LDA’s budget stands Rs10 billion,” the official added.
INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ON NET.PEOPLE ARE HELPLESS TO DECIDE IN WHICH SOCIETY PLOT SHOULD BE PURCHASED. TMAs JURISDICTION ARE NOT DEFINED. TMAs APPROVED SCHEMES ALONG WITH THEIR REGISTRATION NUMBERS MUST BE DISPLAYED ON NET.IN MY VIEW THERE ARE BARE MINIMUM FRAUDS IN TMA APPROVED HOUSING SOCIETIES AS COMPARED TO LDA APPROVED SOCIETIES.AFTER FIRE INCIDENTS TWICE IN SHORT PERIOD PEOPLES CONFIDENCE ON LDA HAS BEEN SHAKEN BADLY.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE: GET THE COPY OF REGISTRATION BY TMA OR LDA FROM HOUSING SOCITy in which YOU ARE GOING TO BUY PLOT. Only fake and fraud Housing Schemes do not display their TMA or LDA approved registration numbers on internet. People are advised not to invest in those sousing schemes which do not give them a copy of approval of TMA or LDA. All these schemes are are biggest fraud who refuses to give copies of registration to public. All those who have already purchased plot without checking TMA or LDA registration must go to the offices of their socities and demand TMA or LDA registration copies.The name of any housing society if it does not provide the registration copy to customer must immediately be brought into notice of concerned authorities and its name must be displayed on net without delay.
WHAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LDA AND TMAs.WHY DONT THEY DISPLAY THE LIST OF THEIR APPROVED HOUSING SCHEMES ON NET.THEY ARE PAID BY PEOPLE'S TAX.WHAT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES.PEOPLE MUST ASK .OUR PUBLIC MUST AWAKE TO CATCH THE NECKS OF FAKE HOUSING SOCIETIES. GOVERNMENT WILL DO NOTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE SITTING IN PARLIMENT AND THEMSELVES INVOLVED IN LOOTING.
Yes I agree People must Get Up and Catch the NECKS of Fraud and Fake Housing Societies. Parliamentarians if not involved in Fraud must save their VOTERS from fraud.They themselves are involved.People will have to catch their NECKS.
LDA must appear the approved hosing scheme this is main responsibility of LDA and TMAs for people awareness.
