On April 26, 2016, Malik Riaz held an open meeting at the Grand Hotel in Bahria Town. Attendees included Bahia Town dealers, investors, and affectees of Sector F, Golf View Residencia, Bahria Greens, and various blocks of Bahria Town proper. Malik Riaz flew down from Dubai to attend this meeting, which was announced during his last talks with the affectees about a month ago.
Without any prior official announcement, around 500 people showed up to attend this event. Individual investors were given a chance to communicate directly with Riaz, who spoke frankly – and, at times, quite humorously – with them. Most of the attendants had issues such as unnecessary delays and hurdles caused by the Bahria Town management. Riaz reacted firmly and immediately ordered his staff to fix the issues as soon as possible.
During the meeting, Riaz made important announcements regarding multiple controversial Bahria projects in Lahore. Here’s all the information:
Golf View Residencia
A sizeable percentage of attendees were investors of Golf View Residencia, the development status of which still isn’t clear. Riaz told these file owners not to not pay any instalment as the project is facing delays. He said that Bahria Town would let them know about initiation of development work in Residencia and that is when they should resume paying instalments. Not paying instalments right now would not result in a fine, he assured.
Riaz said he was just waiting for a couple of issues to be fixed and that development might begin in 25 days. He also announced that Bahria Town has acquired all the needed land for this project, which will soon be connected with Raiwind Road.
Bahria Greens
The concerns of Bahria Green file owners were also duly addressed by Riaz. He signed the applications of various owners at the event and also approved 100% cash refunds for those who wanted them, something Bahria Town has never done in the past.
Bahria Town Sector F
Bahria Town has held two rounds of balloting to adjust the relocated affectees of Bahria Town but none of these ballots have included files with pending payments. In this regard, a notification was issued by Bahria Town earlier this month requesting file owners to clear their dues in order to be part of the ballot scheduled for May 30, 2016.
However, Riaz announced yesterday that he will hold the balloting of 200 plots in Talha Block, Bahria Town Lahore on April 27, 2016 at 5pm to adjust Sector F file owners. This ballot will only include the files with all dues cleared and plot numbers allotted. To the surprise and pleasure of the attendants, Riaz announced that a particular complainant who was angry at the unprofessional attitude of personnel at the Bahria Town office in Lahore will do the ballot.
The ballot will be done for 5-marla, 10-marla and 1-kanal plots in Sector F. Those who remain unsuccessful in this ballot will get their plots in 4 months anyway – at least that’s what Malik Riaz said yesterday.
Random details
This meeting was just like any other open court, where keeping decorum was somewhat hard as the attendants had spent many tiring years trying to get their property-related matters fixed. But Malik Riaz remained calm and patient, his body language and responses reflected positivity and confidence.
He also requested the attendants to drop their numbers and promised to reach out to them individually. According to my sources, many folks did indeed hear from Malik Riaz today. He inquired about their issues and promised to look into the matters in great detail. He also promised to contact them again in a few days. The folks with plots facing litigation in Bahria Town’s Blocks DD and EE can also breathe easy, as according to Riaz they will get their plots in one month.
A common complaint among attendees was the poor attitude of Bahria office personnel, who, in some cases, even refused to attend to applications signed by Riaz himself. To fix this, Malik Riaz announced that all offices of Bahria Town Lahore will have Malik Riaz’s personal contact number and email address pinned on the notice board from April 27, 2016 onwards.
He also requested complainants to mention their contact numbers in the applications written directly to him.
As mobile phones and digital devices were not allowed in the hall, we do not have images of this meeting. If you want to express your thoughts on this, please leave a comment below.

Dear Samra,
Thank you so much for sharing the important news, I have 10 marla file in Sheikh Saadi block sector F behind Cenima, need to know when development work is going to start in these three blocks Abu Bakar, Sheikh Saadi, Alamgir

Sikandar and Alamgir block main tou development shuru ho gai hai:

Baqi blocks ki bari bhi aa jaye gi. Bahria is currently addressing the issues of complaining clients.
Dear Madam Samra,
You are very well aware that the Sector F Affectees are waiting for possession of their Plots since the completion of installments i.e 15-02-2015. How long they will have to wait. Ap nay kaha, Baqi blocks ki bari bhi aa jaye gi. It means no one knows when. We are eagerly waiting to start construction but delay per delay. Abu Bakar Block k rates baqi off ground blocks se zada chal rahay hain, why so. Is the land for Abu Bakar Block purchased or still ROLLA ? Kindly advise, Thankful, An Affectee of Abu Bakar Block
Well done. Pori story leak out krdi apny tu.
Development work in Alamgir and Sikandar Blocks has started from last week and heavy machinery has moved in due to which there is also rise in prices of these blocks.
SAADI and ALAMGIR blocks are behind/back of ABU BAKR Blocks, as such, it is difficult to understand that Bahria started development at the end/boundary. Having said this, i believe this information provided by a Property Dealer
Dear Saleem,
In above comment i have not mentioned any development in Sh. Sadi Block. I reported that development work has started in Alamgir which is not at the back of Abubakr Block and Sikandar Block which also comes on front. If u still need to ask something or want images of development work, you may contact on number given or share your whatsapp number.

Did he talk about DHA VALLEY?
No, none of the attendants present there were affectees of DHA Valley so he didn’t make a mention of it, at least that’s what i know.
Surprisingly most heated issue of LRR crossing over Banria Town Lahore was not discussed in his presence. But still MRH is man of his words!
Abuzar, is pe bhi baat zaroor hoi ho gi magar jub malik sahb ne logon ko individually milna shuru kia tou phir nai pata chala k kis k sath kia discuss kia.
What about his commitment regarding LRR southern loop?is it passing through bahria?
Hmmm, Let me get it conformed if he gave a statement about LRR.
Yaar ap log Malik sahb ko underestimate krty ho, he won’t let the established Bahria Blocks suffer due to LRR.
What about Bahria kotlakpath?
Why didn’t anyone ask about it?
What is the future of those people who have given money to Bahria’s authorized dealers?
Kotlakhpat? Ittefaq Foundary ki baat kr rhy hain?
It is a Bahria project, no doubt about it, Bahria registered agents are assisting clients and I don’t think anyone bought that when the developer disowned Ittefaq Foundary through a print ad.
Do you have any latest update about this kot lakhpat project? Booking payments are still kept by authorized agents for this project and they are telling the public that the map will be available soon but they have been saying this for the last 2-4 weeks.
If u call on Bahria’s helpline they are owning this project and booking is still open.
Yes true. They are owning it and its a bahria project, no doubt about that. But how long the authorized agents are going to keep the payments? When is the map and official announcement expected? No one has any clue
Dear Samra,
Can you pls share Malik Riaz email n telephone no. Here
Regards
M.shahzad.
I have a file of Bahria town Islamabad, phase 9. Can you tell me if anything was discussed regarding this.
He mostly discussed Bahria’s projects in Lahore.
Thanks for sharing the valuable information. Much appreciated.
First of all it was not an open court. Malik Riaz is not a goverment official and we are not IDPs. We are investors in Malik Riaz’s projects and he is liable to give our plots for which we paid him money. its not a matter of favour and gratitude.
secondly, accomodating 1700 sector F’s victim in 200 Talha block plot is a joke. the ballot was done yesterday and an additional 3.1m was asked for “winners” of the lottery.
I dont know why but Bahria town is seriously ruining its repute. I have personally advised my at least 5 friends not to buy anything in BTL and rather go to DHA9.
good advise
I would agree with Junaid, BT is losing its reputation to the extent that Malik Riaz is being known as the “Robinhood of Pakistan”; where the poor are looted to benefit the influential.
There has been no development in Bahria Enclave Islamabad; though the plots have been assigned but there are no roads or any services to the different areas of the development. It has been almost 5 years since the announcement & there are no signs of any good news from Bahria on the project.
It has been fixed.
*_*
highly appreciated
Well, I was there at yesterday balloting, and guess what, balloting was done on a computer and nobody knew whether his name is there in the balloting list or not. Computer somehow managed to keep picking up dealers plot. 2ndly the Mr angry person who had to do balloting was not visible at 5 but took off his invisibility cloak as soon as the bahria people gave the balloting task to the computer, and was later arguing about the balloting afterwards, instead of protesting about it beforehand. In short bahria town gave us another lolly pop.
Hi,
Kindly suggest your response if Malik Riaz committed one day earlier and that is not followed by Bahria Management then who is at mistake? Is it not shame to Bahria Management. No one was angry but pointed out that all we are facing due to this lazy management as what they were doing for last 3 years and their attitude. How come dealers are demanding 6 to 10 lac to get on ground plot from customer and you can visit today few dealers and you will experience. Now question is how they are getting plot but not the real victim who invested in Bahria by keeping in mind credibility of Malik Riaz and Bahria.
Where is that credibility if during last 2 months 3 to 4 times balloting was conducted (totally fake). We should give clear and true picture and this is what I am asking or sharing is just 1% of the whole story.
I wish if someone can answer as it is quite obvious that you can’t say anything against Malik Riaz due to management constraints.
That’s sad. I wish he did the manual ballot and Bahria shared it on their social media that a random guy was picked to do ballot of 200 plots in Talha Block.
Hi Samra,
Bahria from top to bottom can’t be trusted anymore unfortunately. There was nothing manual all they lie and people were shocked and surprised that if Chairman of Bahria committed and still such things are happening then whom else they should trust. But I feel such things can’t be maintained like this for long time and they will have to deliver as they missed out the power of social media and technology. Thanks
Hi Samra,
It was not an open court but Malik Riaz was forced by many protesters to meet them and answer their queries. A number of people made protests earlier and this compelled Malik to attend them personally. The promise he made during his meeting was not addressed by Bahria staff again they have cheated victims again. The people who got plots in Talha Block were asked to pay 31 Lac more. Moreover, a large number of people still wondering that why Bahria didn’t include their name in balloting despite Malik Riaz promises. In fact, Sector F victims are really suffering.
Regarding Golf View Residencia:
>> Riaz said he was just waiting for a couple of issues to be fixed and that development might begin in 25 days.
If they really are going to start development, why he is asking people not to pay further installments. Rather he should be asking to pay installment while they start development.
Secondly what about LRR passing through golf view and effecting the whole layout? did he say anything about that.
Do we have video of this event somewhere on youtube?
Shahid, logo main ye concern hai k project ki location clear nai hai, development ka pata nai k kub start ho tou hum payments kiun karain. Is pe MR said k payment na karain, jub development start ho tou management k inform krny k baad ap payments resume kr dain.
LRR k baray main he said he won’t let that happen. He will utilize whatever means necessary to get its route changed and bare the additional cost.
It was a fish market. People were requested to sit down and Mic will come to them but each one was in hurry to get plot and the case was hijacked. Would Malik Riaz be able to give possession afetr 04 Months or just gave a LOLIPOP as since long time.
Mr. Usman, the Angry person was there, you overlooked him. Pls comment correctly.
Great job Miss Samra, you have covered all contents of event very well i was also there. You are doing excellent job for the people sitting in abroad or far flung places. Keep it up!
Thank you Ali Hassan.

AoA
Dear Samra
Kindly can you get information about a big issue of BT i.e. LRR as soon as possible.
Is it discussed in this meeting or not?
Thanks
Yes, Malik sahb did mention LRR’s route.
He said he will utilize whatever means necessary to get its route changed and would not baring the additional cost.
The same exercise should be planned for Bahria Enclave Islamabad members because we are waiting for possession of plots since 2012
Sooner rather than later.
What is the worth of a 10 marla plot in Bahria orchard central block? Is it good time to invest in Bahria EMC commercial plots?
The bracket in central is from 64 to 75 as per location.
Though there is rise in prices at EMC bt in case of commercial you should be ready for long term investment if you are willing to earn handsome profit.

Hi Samra,
Thanks for the topic and really appreciated the way you did face saving of Bahriatown. I will not go into details as it might be tough for to you allow such comment as even mainstream media including GEO, DUNYA, EXPRESS, ARY are unable to support Bahria Victims due to their business interets.
Kindly suggest if you can write the true picture then for sure I will share proofs with you.
Thanks
Its not the right forum.
Is there any announcement regarding ring road effectees ????
Yes, Malik sahb did mention LRR’s route.
He said he will utilize whatever means necessary to get its route changed and would not baring the additional cost.
Can you pls share MR EMAIL n fone no. Here .
No, I am sorry.
Can’t share it here…
Yes, please share it.

Is there any News about bahria town karachi in that meeting?
Bahria Karachi wasn’t discussed.
Dear Samra,
Highly appreciate your attitude to address lots of questions. Really you have passion and positive attitude, May Almighty Allah be with you always in your good deeds to he favour of his creature. I will ask only one Question about NFC2. Last time was expected Election on 24th April 216 but due to another Stay from the Court all in vain. Is there any hope any update on this. JazakAllah Khair
One of the guy from the NFC management approached the court once again and the court issued a stay order….
People here make use of the system to their own advantages.
Afsos, they have nothing better to do.
Highly appreciate Samra your comments on NFC2 current situation. D you think that we should forget now NFC2 at least for coming 203 Years? I do not know why dirty people are playing with others benefits for the sake of their own!. May Almighty Allah grant hem Hedayah (The Right Path).
it is 2-3 Years not 203 Years , Sorry or Typographical Error.
Kindly pls give me update of balloting for local 250 sq 10 Marla of bahria town Karachi. They said it will be in June. Pls confirm if true
Secondly any update of Bahia town Karachi sports city balloting.
Pls reply my email
Hi Samra,
Please if u can provide some info about possession of orchard OLC block-A, I purchased in 2010 and still waiting for it.
Seek inspiration from sector f guys
Miss Samra,
This is funny or I should say terrible that Malik Riaz is accommodating few of the victims of his crimes (looting people and disobeying his commitments) and even these people even if they are given back their looted money already have suffered great loss in terms of tension they received till now and the value of money that went down and the loss of the potential profits. Who is the beneficiary in all this scenario, isn’t it the MALIK SB??? And what about the thousands of those people who didn’t met Malik sb and no promise made to them??? This is all rubbish. In this criminal society, once you loot and make BIG money, on one can grab you and take out the looted money!!!
ANY COMMENTS OVER THESE LINES?
Dear Samra. Can you please share Mr Riaz personal email id.
Thanks & regards
N.A.Raja
Sorry Raja, can’t share his email address here.
Hi,
i have a plot in Sector E – Iqbal block – 10 Marla, which is not grounded, can you share your experience about the future of that area , what will happen with us.
Bahria has lots of such blocks and i learn about one new blunder every other day. Even the completely developed blocks don’t have various plots on ground.
How can Malik sahb allow this to happen.
i need what Malik Riaz said about Bahria Greens Lahore Project when it will announced, Please tell about this also
He is offering 100% return to bahria green file owner, which could also mean that this project still has time.
I have learnt that Barhai has purchased a big chunk of land next to Chinar Bagh, which the agents believe is the chosen location of Bahria Greens, aagay kia hota hai, Allah hi behtar jan’ta hai.
I Paid almost full payment of my 10 marla Plot
Tou koi baat nai, GVR main jub bhi koi activity ho gi, notify tou ap ko bhi karain gay ye location hai, ye map, ye ap ka plot hai and all. Paying full installments doesn’t mean that you made a hasty move and will suffer.
Malik Riaz asked Bahria golf residencia buyers to stop paying the instalments but what about people gai alhave already paid all instalments few months ago ?
Dos I missed something ?
Pls reply

They haven’t shared map and location of these blocks, claiming that declaring location makes land acquisition harder for them.
Malik sahb said k in 4 months, every affectee of Sector F will get his plot, I am waiting to see that happen.
Respected all.
we have different issues of different nature no doubt it is based on priorities and problems.Ring road issue and solutions must be shared with us so that we can work the benefits of our clients.Keep on updating regarding ring road from Bahria town, still uncertainty is there.

Hope that Malik Riaz has some good news for us also. Must look back to the people (overseas workers) who trusted him while investing their hard earned money.
Thanks. Is it possible to send it by email.
naraja@hotmail.com
The address of Malik Riaz was like SHEHENSHA.
Such addresses he has made a number of times ,like address on
A) Behria Awami villa Rawalpindi
All payments even utility charges taken since 2014 but no sign of handing over of villa even after more thah 8 years.E mail contact and phone numbers tried many times but he turns a deaf ear. Shame Shame
B ) DHA VALLEY AND TRANSFER OF PLOTS TO BEHRIA 8 RAWALPINDI AND KARACHI. A BIG ADD WAS GIVEN IN NOVEMBER-2015 FOR BALLOTTING IN JAN-2016.WHAT HAPPENED? NOTHING. More than 8 years passed no change in status.No plots possession given. Riaz Malik made many announcements regarding possession but in vain.
He behaves like MUGHLE-AZM and then DELEBRATELY IGNORES like he has said nothing..He is not man of words at all.not trustworthy and.He blieves in CHEATING AND CHARITY.
You write any thing to BEHRIA MANAGEMENT ,THEY WILL GENERALLY NOT REPLY AND IF THEY REPLY,IT WILL BE “GOLE” “MOLE”

Miss Samra, can anybody ask Malik Riaz about the Awami Villa Rawalpindi and Lahore? Bahria Town spoke big about these and after 10 years, very few are delivered, few are under-construction and most are told by BT that they will not build. Why this treatment with Awami Villa Allotees?
Hi samra,
