RAWALPINDI, October 29 (APP):A meeting was held at the NAB Rawalpindi/Islamabad Conference Room under the chairmanship of Director General (DG) NAB Rawalpindi, Waqar Ahmad Chauhan, to discuss the development of an online portal enabling the public to verify the status of approved housing schemes and individual plots within those schemes.
During the meeting on Wednesday, the DG NAB emphasized the importance of transparency, accountability, and public confidence in the real estate sector. He directed officers from the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) to provide the required data for integration into the proposed digital platform and ensure its authenticity and regular updates.
The DG NAB also directed both authorities to establish ESCROW accounts for the transparent management of funds related to housing schemes and to introduce a QR code system for each approved project, ensuring easy public verification and preventing fraudulent or unapproved developments. He noted that these measures would serve as an effective deterrent against malpractices and unauthorized housing activities.
He further stressed that the online system must be designed to meet the needs of all stakeholders while ensuring user-friendly access, data security, and real-time information for the general public.
The meeting was attended by IT heads and senior officers from NAB, PULSE, CDA, and RDA, who discussed the technical framework, data-sharing protocols, and coordination mechanisms for the project’s timely and efficient implementation.
