Gujranwala: The Gujranwala Development Authority (GDA) recently completed a survey — geared towards launching a crackdown — to identify illegal housing schemes and land subdivisions within the city, according to a news source .
Based on the survey results, the development authority will launch a grand operation against developers of 70 such projects, while FIRs have also been registered against the people involved.
Reportedly, GDA Director General (DG) Javaid Naseem directed the authority’s officials to complete the survey in order to identify developers and builders involved in illegal practices. Speaking to the media, the DG said that a crackdown against the culprits would be launched soon, during which the GDA staff would be demolishing the offices of illegal housing schemes. He further revealed that FIRs had been registered against 100 people found involved with the identified housing societies.
The developers of illegal housing schemes and land subdivisions cause revenue loss to the authority by not applying for an NOC. According to the standard rules, no developer is allowed to sell land without procuring a formal approval certificate from the competent authority. The practice also causes a loss of hundreds of millions of rupees to the national exchequer.
