RAWALPINDI:
The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has decided to conduct a fresh survey of all private housing societies for the purpose of enhanced scrutiny.
It is pertinent to note that most of the housing societies, at the moment, are freely operating with a clear violation of bylaws.
The sources said that a number of housing societies had carved more plots in open spaces and sold them. The illegal practice has created difficulty for land purchasers whose investments remain at risk.
The authority will inspect whether the housing schemes were operating with basic urban facilities such as roads, parks, mosques, commercial areas, a cemetery, hospitals and other facilities available according to approved the planning permission and layout plan.
In this regard, a team has been formed under the Metropolitan Town Planning and Traffic Engineering Director Tahir Miyo.
