The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has initiated measures against Bahria Town for encroachments, illegal plotting/cutting, and distributing brochures that violate the approved layout plan (LOP) in Phase VIII of Mouza Gali.
Additionally, the 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 served to the owner of Bahria Town Phase VIII and the two illegal housing schemes. She highlighted that these unauthorized schemes are misleading the public into purchasing plots fraudulently, thereby risking their hard-earned savings.
Director General Murtaza has directed the Director of the Metropolitan Planning and Traffic Engineering branch to take immediate action against these illegal advertisements and marketing activities. Furthermore, she indicated that FIRs would be registered against the owners of these illegal housing schemes.
Kinza Murtaza sternly warned the sponsors of the illegal housing schemes to halt the marketing of their unapproved projects immediately. She urged them to contact the RDA to obtain the necessary NOC/approval for their schemes in accordance with the law.
She also advised the general public to avoid investing in illegal and unauthorized housing schemes, emphasizing that verifying the legitimacy of housing projects through the RDA website (www.rda.gop.pk) is in their best interest. Failure to comply with these directives will result in strict legal action against the violators.
