The news source disclosed that many complaints were pending related to double compensation and exemption with LDA. The scrutiny of double compensation/exemption will focus on the plots awarded in exchange in Johar Town. The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) asked the Chief Town Planner (CTP) to submit the records of plots exchanged between 2018 and 2023.
Moreover, the LDA formed a committee to scrutinise the files which were being processed and were not included in the inventory list of 2017. According to the Terms of Reference (TORs) of the committee, it will analyse, scrutinise, and inquire about facts of all the files. In case of an exchange of plots, the committee will review the status of the previous plot and verify its exchange proceedings and its onsite possession status.
Moreover, the committee will be responsible for analysing the initiation procedure of applications from One Window Cell and its complete trail. The committee will do a cross-verification of previous correspondences and transactions along with matching scanned records of possession registers. It will scrutinise the files in-depth and give recommendations regarding the inclusion of files in the Inventory List according to their determined sanctity.
