Karachi: The Karachi Development Authority (KDA) plans to launch four new housing societies in the provincial capital, according to a news report. KDA Director General Dr Badar Jamil Mandhro revealed that the authority planned to announce these schemes formally in due time; adding that the local government secretary had already issued a notification for this purpose.
These housing schemes will target low-income families and will be located in Surjani Town, Korangi, KDA Scheme I, and Federal B Area Block I. Mandhro stated that these societies would offer both flats and plots measuring 80 square yards, 120 square yards, 200 square yards, and 240 square yards. This is a landmark development as these will be the first societies developed by KDA in over 20 years, he added.
Mandhro also talked about the ongoing anti-encroachment drive in Karachi and stated that the retrieved amenity plots would be auctioned off in a transparent manner; adding that citizens can lodge any complaints with the KDA Director General’s office.
