LDA for Ban on Property Transfer in 89 Illegal Schemes in Punjab

The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has sent a reference to the Lahore Metropolitan City and districts of Kasur, Sheikhupura and Nankana Sahib to impose a ban on transfer/transaction of property in housing societies developed illegally in violation of the Integrated Master Plan-2021.

The authority has also complained to the police authorities of Lahore and other areas against those station house officers (SHOs) who are not registering cases against the developers of such illegal housing societies despite receipt of applications from the LDA officers.

Eighty-nine housing societies have been identified as developed or in under-developing phase in violation of the master plan which means they cannot be regularized due to strict policy matters, rules, bylaws and terms/conditions.

“The master plan of Lahore division allocates or describes or indicates the places/areas that can be used separately for residential, industrial, commercial, agricultural and other purposes. It means if someone develops a residential project/scheme in the areas other than those fixed for such purposes would not be regularised/legalised in any case and those involved in the sale/purchase of property/plots at such schemes must consider their investment risky,” LDA Chief Metropolitan Planner (CMP) Shakeel Anjum Minhas.
