Director MP&TE directed 37 housing schemes to submit a mortgage deed, deed of surrender and No Objection Certificate (NOC) taken from the Environment Protection Department etc. He directed to submit requirements very soon, otherwise approval of layout plans of housing schemes will be withdrawn/cancelled. The owners/sponsors of some housing schemes are doing misleading advertisements by showing the provision of high rise buildings and showing development work in the area already approved. By way of this sponsor is cheating the general public.
The general public has been advised in their own interest that they should be careful to make any investment in the illegal/unauthorized area and for high rise buildings which are not approved/allowed. The general public is further advised to check the approval status of each plot and building prior to purchase/agreement/booking from the MP&TE Directorate RDA. It also could be checked on the RDA website rda.gop.pk. Otherwise, they themselves will be responsible for their losses.
