Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) Director General Kinza Murtaza visited the University Town Housing Scheme and imposed an immediate ban on the sale and purchase of plots and files due to incomplete and unauthorised development.
The inspection of Blocks A, B, C, E, and F revealed several violations, including the absence of RDA-approved service designs, despite ongoing development and plot sales. The DG expressed concern over the dilapidated infrastructure, highlighting unpaved roads, encroachments, a neglected main entrance, and the poor condition of Aziz Khan Road.
During a high-level meeting with residents and complainants, civic problems such as mosquito and snake infestations, lack of proper road carpeting, low-voltage electricity, unsafe wiring, open manholes, and a malfunctioning sewage system were raised.
DG RDA assured residents that the authority is committed to resolving these issues. She ordered immediate recovery of amenity plots earmarked for mosques, playgrounds, parks, and schools, and directed clearance of encroachments from the Layout Plan (LoP). She further announced that no revised LoP will be issued to the developer, while legal actionincluding arrest and disqualificationwill be considered under the law.
