Lahore: The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has announced to compensate owners who surrendered their land for LDA Avenue-I housing scheme development, a news source reported. Earlier, Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar had issued directions to the development authority to resolve the concerns of the people affected by the project.
Under the new policy, LDA will hold meetings with the land providers so that their issues can be resolved in a timely manner. According to the new policy drafted by the LDA, the authority will provide 30% exemption for undeveloped land to their owners. Consequently, people will be compensated with 6-marla plots for 1-kanal undeveloped land. This will help the LDA give plots to 400 LDA Avenue-I plot allottees.
In addition, the Avenue-I committee has been tasked to
negotiate with the owners. Speaking on the matter, LDA Vice Chairman S M Imran
said that it was the LDA’s priority to provide people with ownership of their plots.
