The Ministry of Housing and Works (MoHW) has reserved a two per cent quota of the total number of plots of each category for employees of nine constitutional bodies in Green Enclave-I, Bhara Kahu Housing Scheme.
Around eight plots have been reserved in Category-I, 12 plots in Category-II, 15 plots in Category-III, 17 plots in Category-IV and 15 plots in Category-V for the employees of constitutional bodies, a ministry official told APP.
Talking about the Sky Garden Scheme, he said that the revised layout plan of housing was under process of approval and around 22 plots of different categories were reserved in the scheme under a two per cent quota for the employees of constitutional bodies.
The waiting list of those members who deposited down payment and whose cases were likely to mature for allotment is subject to verification of service particulars from their department, including their Regular appointment in BPS as on date of membership etc, he added.
To a question, he said the project of the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) Lifestyle Residency in Sector G-13 was likely to be completed by December 2022, depending on the availability of funds.
The project was earlier slated to be completed by the end of the year 2020, however, due to multiple reasons such as the COVID-19 pandemic, increase in prices of construction materials as a whole, and steel, in particular, the desired targets could not be achieved, he said.
The official recalled that the project was launched in July 2016 and the construction work on the project formally started in September 2017. As result, the original financial plan of completing the project by recovering 83 per cent of tentative costs from the members became non-viable. Therefore, he said, the Board of Directors decided to split the remaining 17 per cent into four instalments.
