Loadshedding - Not a problem in Bahria Town?

As all of us know very well the situation of power supply in our country but I heard that there is no load shedding at all in Bahria Town.

  1. Why is it so?
  2. Will this standard remain the same even all the plots are constructed?
  3. I want to shift to Islamabad, can BT be the best choice to live in??
  4. Any suggestions about schools and markets??

Less or more, Bahria Town is one of the top rated housing societies in Pakistan. Bahria Town faces the same kind of electricity problem but the society facilitates its residents by providing power backup. The society owns a grid station which triggers each time there is a power outage so in that sense, it offers relief to its residents.

Such societies are developed with years long planning but as you know the political and economical changes are always in action in our country and these changes impose effects on every part of country and every aspect of life. These societies may react accordingly. Overall you will experience sustainability. Schools and markets are also approachable within the boundary. This is all I know.

Dear, i have pumped in my complete saving in BT. The present scam of Malik Riaz has disturbed all the residents of BT. What will happen if he is jailed? will BT be able to run under the board of director?

All these problems needs anwser, before you make any decision. Price of plots have gone low in BT due to Malik sb involvment in bribe.

Bahria town alloties are disturbed due to that case in which phases prices became low? by the way he will not be jailed things will be settle but will take a bit time.

Well I think Tanveer has answered most of your questions very well.. I will just try to answer one.

Q: I want to shift to Islamabad, can BT be the best choice to live in?

It really depends on you work location and priorities. I mean if your work location is in Pndi then BT can be best choice. If your work location is in central Islamabad and you don't like a daily round trip of 1.5, 2 hours to work then CDA sectors will be the best choice for you although CDA sectors do not offer the same facilities as BT but they still have a lot of re-sale value, more expensive , easy to sell and good investment etc.

Yes if u r working in isd u should not shift in phase 1 to 8 (bahria) only for ppl who r working in pindi bahria is best as compared to others but bahria enclave islamabad will be the future for islamabad working class as houses r being constructed rapidly plus apartments i think 1 year or so ppl will shift there.

Bahria town lahore has illegally occupied a grid station and exempted itself from loadshedding. Lesco took them to the lahore high court and the lhc has ordered lesco to take back control of it.

In the same way, bahria town has also bribed its way to control the local grid station in the iesco area. Several iseco officials now live in bahria town. There is no backup power station within bahria, thats just a myth. They are several cases pending before islamabad high court regarding how bahria town islamabad is not facing load shedding as per schedule.

Bahria rawalpindi has started facing power outages now - though not as severe as other parts of the country.

The conspiracies will continue for ever. So no worries dear.

Exactly harris but still in bahria load shedding is not a huge issue as we all are facing in the other parts of the country.

No it's not! If commuting does not bother you, there's not much else to worry about in bahria rawalpindi Schools are available and markets are better than most other places in the region!

Hahah silly question "why is it so" lol

You pay the bills for the whole grid and there will be no electricity problem, i heard there is an area in karachi too which don't get the load shedding issue and bahria town is the second one, i live in bahria town myself so i know.

Btw -- just for the info, malik riaz pays upto 70 lac a month from his pocket to cover the costs of generators they use in bahria town, excluding the fact that every consumer living in bahria town have to pay the rs. 1500+ tax for the maintenance cost every month for those generators and uninterrupted power supply. ( there is of course a reason to this : p )
