RAWALPINDI, Jan 03 (APP):A meeting was held with Director General, Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) Kinza Murtaza here Saturday to address complaints lodged by allottees of Bahria Town Housing Scheme Phase-8.
During the meeting, a detailed hearing of the issues faced by the affected allottees was conducted, ensuring transparency and accountability in addressing their grievances.
The hearing was attended by Chief Planner RDA Muhammad Tahir Meo, Director Admin Iftikhar Ali, Director Finance Shahid Yaqoob, employees of Bahria Town Housing Scheme Phase-8, and the affected allottees.
During the proceedings, the allottees stated that they have not been granted possession of their plots since 2004. They also raised concerns regarding an illegal demand of an additional RS. 1.1 million being made by the Bahria Town administration. The allottees further complained about the unprofessional and arrogant behavior of certain Bahria Town officials and expressed serious reservations regarding the sale of plots without an NOC, which they claimed undermines legal and regulatory procedures.
DG RDA Kinza Murtaza questioned the Bahria Town administration, seeking clarification on when possession would be granted to the allottees and demanding an immediate explanation for the ongoing deductions.
Considering the gravity of the matter, DG RDA ordered an immediate comprehensive inquiry, directed legal action against the responsible parties, filing of prosecution, and registration of First Information Report (FIR) against the employees involved in the Bahria Town Housing Scheme.
The DG RDA emphasized that the protection of general public’s rights was the RDA’s top priority and reiterated that no housing scheme would be allowed to violate the law under any circumstances. She further stated that RDA remained committed to strict monitoring of all housing schemes to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and safeguard public interests.
