The development work has already started in Green Enclave-I housing project where the plots would be handed over to the allottees after the development work was over.

As many as 8,000 employees of the federal government have submitted applications for the apartment scheme launched by the Federal Government Employees Association Authority (FGEHA), The Express Tribune has learnt.
The FGEHA has completed the construction of as many as 12,000 apartments under the project in different parts of the country. The ongoing registration process is expected to end on February 14.
The government employees can also avail a loan from the House Building Finance Company Limited (HBFC).
