Lahore: The Lahore Commissioner recently issued a notification under Section 5 of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 for the acquisition of land for the proposed Firdous Market Underpass project — a news source reported.
Section 5 of the Land Acquisition Act allows the
commissioner to designate a price of land for public use through a
notification. The section also provides the public a month to submit their objections
on the matter.
Earlier this month, the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) had shortlisted five firms for the construction of the Firdous Market Underpass. These firms include MAAKSONS, National Logistic Cells (NLC), IKAN Engineering, Sarwar Bhatti & Company, and Habib Construction Company.
The authority had been looking to acquire land in the area
for the purpose of developing the underpass, and the notification was issued
after the LDA had resolved all pending issues related to the project.
