The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has initiated action against Bahria Town for encroachments, illegal plotting/cutting, and distribution of brochures that violate the approved layout plan (LOP) in Phase VIII of Mouza Gali.
Additionally, RDA has issued notices to the proprietors of two unauthorized housing schemes, Zak City in Mouza Harnal, Gujar Khan, and Hoon Farm House in Mouza Adhwal Tehsil Rawalpindi, for starting development activities and marketing without proper approval.
In a press release, RDA Director General Kinza Murtaza announced that notices have been sent to the owner of Bahria Town Phase VIII and two illegal housing schemes.
She emphasized that these unauthorized schemes are luring the public into fraudulent plot purchases, risking their hard-earned money.
Furthermore, Murtaza directed the Director of the Metropolitan Planning and Traffic Engineering branch to swiftly act against illegal advertisements and marketing activities. FIRs will also be lodged against the owners of these illegal housing schemes.
Murtaza warned the sponsors of illegal housing schemes to halt the marketing of their unapproved projects immediately or face strict legal repercussions. They are advised to contact RDA for obtaining necessary NOCs/approvals in compliance with the law.
Non-compliance will result in stringent legal measures.
Murtaza urged the public to avoid investing in illegal and unauthorized housing schemes for their own benefit. She encouraged them to verify the legitimacy of housing schemes by consulting the RDA website (www.rda.gop.pk) before making any investments.
