The landowners have stated that they will stage a protest if their demanded rate isn’t met by the government. The discord between the government and the landowners about the rate of the land acquired for the project hasn’t yet reached a mutually-beneficial answer.
Moreover, a 65-kilometre has been identified for the RRR project that includes the 51-kilometre (Phase-I) route from GT Road, Rawat to China-Pakistan-Economic-Corridor (CPEC) route and 14-kilometre-long route from CPEC Route to Sangjani.

Meanwhile, it was also announced that RRR has been declared Rawalpindi Ring Road Economic Corridor (RRREC) and the number of residential, commercial zones surrounding it has been upgraded to ten. Additionally, two dry ports, state-of-the-art-hospital and international expo centre will also be developed alongside it.
I have land in the similar location but not next to ring road, usually the price in this area is about 2-lakh per kanal, (because its mostly barani banjar land, no agriculture is possible), and they are demanding 20-lac par kanal.
