Rawalpindi: Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) Chairman Raja Tariq Mehmood Murtaza recently announced that the authority had launched a drive to spread awareness about illegal housing schemes in the city — with the names of the offending housing societies available on the authority’s website, media sources reported.
While talking to the media, the chairman stated that the authority had a window at its office to provide guidance to people regarding the aforementioned housing societies. He added that not all websites were trustworthy since some were involved in the sale and purchase of plots in illegal housing projects.
Furthermore, the RDA chairman said that unlawful housing societies had been looting overseas Pakistanis, who often ended up trusting unreliable web portals. He went on to say that the chairman had also sent letters to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to block and impose fines on websites that promoted illegal housing schemes.
In addition, Chairman Murtaza ordered the authorities concerned to speed up the process to acquire no-objection certificates (NOC) so that investors could invest in the city without the need to worry.
