RAWALPINDI: Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) Director General Salman Ghani has directed officials to address pending issues involving six private housing schemes in line with the Lahore High Court’s directions.
The directives came during a hearing chaired by Ghani at the RDA Director General’s office. Owners, sponsors, legal representatives and residents affected by the matters attended the proceedings to present their concerns and discuss outstanding complaints.
The six housing schemes reviewed during the hearing were Metro City Gujar Khan, Bahria Town, Mega City, Mumtaz City, The Avenue and Top City.
RDA Reviews Complaints and Pending Matters
During the proceedings, the RDA chief listened to participants individually and examined the issues associated with each housing scheme. The hearing focused on reviewing unresolved matters and determining the steps required to move cases forward under the applicable court directions.
Ghani instructed the RDA law officer to take the necessary legal steps and ensure proper follow-up in accordance with the Lahore High Court’s orders. He stressed the need for timely action on the pending matters.
The RDA chief planner was also directed to take effective measures to address outstanding issues and respond to complaints raised by affected residents.
Focus on Legal Compliance and Timely Action
The authority’s directions place emphasis on coordination between its legal and planning departments to deal with the cases. Officials are expected to pursue the required procedures while ensuring that their actions remain consistent with the court’s instructions.
Housing scheme disputes can involve a range of matters affecting residents, developers and other stakeholders. Their resolution may require legal review, planning-related decisions and coordination among the relevant parties. The specific issues and outcomes for each of the six schemes were not detailed in the available information.
What This Means for Housing Scheme Residents
The hearing provides an opportunity for affected residents and other stakeholders to raise outstanding concerns with the regulatory authority. However, the issuance of directions does not itself confirm that all complaints have been resolved or that final decisions have been made in every case.
Further progress will depend on the follow-up action taken by the RDA’s legal and planning teams, along with compliance with the relevant court directions.
The authority’s next steps will be important for residents seeking clarity on their cases and for housing scheme sponsors awaiting decisions on pending matters.
