Rawalpindi: The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) recently issued Challan B-34 and other notices to four housing societies — identified as being ‘illegal’ — located on Chakri Road and Girja Road, according to news sources.
Reportedly, it was the Metropolitan
Planning and Traffic Engineering (MP&TE) Directorate of the RDA that issued
these notices under the Punjab Private Housing Schemes and Land Subdivision
Rules. In addition, as per the directives of the Director MP&TE, First
Information Reports (FIRs) will also be filed against these four housing
schemes.
Furthermore, the RDA officials took the opportunity to reiterate that the public shouldn’t invest their life earnings in unauthorised housing projects (declared illegal by RDA). This will allow people to preserve their own interests and avoid unnecessary loses in the future.
The MP&TE directorate
has been instructed to launch strict action against illegal residential
projects within its jurisdiction. The development or construction of booking
and site offices will also be demolished as per the law, without
discrimination.
Previously, the RDA governing body had authorized a third-party audit of 48 authorised housing schemes and a commercial complex that were allegedly built on state land. This, in turn, helped with identifying the aforementioned illegal societies in the city.
