LAHORE

After the crackdown on illegal plazas in the city, the Lahore Development Authority has decided to launch an operation against bogus private housing schemes in the provincial capital.

According to a press release issued on Monday, the LDA has cautioned the citizens against fraudulent private housing schemes, directing them to be careful in buying new plots without checking the legalities regarding the documentations of plots. It said the Punjab government, under private housing schemes ordinance 2005, had directed the Authority to check the record of private housing schemes except those in the Cantonment area.

With the help of the Punjab government, the Authority had decided to launch a drive against the illegal housing schemes and their owners involved in deceiving the poor public. The Authority has already informed the people about some of the illegal private housing schemes and is carrying out strict action against them, the press releases said
