Near or far future government had to make main roads in I 14, and I -15, as it is promised in master plan of Islamabad , so if the airport route pass from here there will be no burden on bugdet.Rather it will be economical and two preys with one arrow.thanks
Billi k khawab mein cheechrey hahahha.ameen, iltaf etc etc :)
All those who have invested in I 15, I 16, on this kushfehmi that the road to airport will pass near these sectors.Better switch your investment, because that route is no more on the chart of NHA. And you know the record of CDA, for the last 10 years or more , it has not completed any sector.
Now choice is yours. TOP CITY after 1 year will be out of your reach, so better switch your investments from I 16, 1 15 to TOP CITY.

Wait for corrigendum IV.
Well said Ali bhai. Now we are waiting for CORRIGENDUM-IV
There are only 3 chances dears,so get ready to fly
Development Work in top city has been stopped as it touches airport boundary wall. NOC may also be cancelled as it’s too near to airport and the civil has also not issued NOC to this housing scheme. So be careful in investing…
Genuine buyers who want to buy plots to build houses for themselves to live should consider established and safer societies, after all they will be investing their hard earned money and lifetime savings. Better stay away from societies which have many IFs and BUTs and/or whose existence is linked to unpredictable factors.
Very right Khan sab, I 15 , I 16 etc stay away from these societies. CDA past record is very bad, for the last 12 years cda have not developed any sector.
Ali bhai! When is CORRIGENDUM-IV coming, in which NHA is announcing that Kashmir Highyway route to airport via TOP CITY is finalized?
I have heard that principle decision is taken, they have to just announce it.
Ch Shahid bhai , do you have any updates?
Matter is with PM
BEFORE INVESTING IN TOP CITY READ THIS NEWS PUBLISHED IN DAWN ON 9th JULY 2014
Housing societies close to new airport worry Senate body
By Kalbe Ali
Published 3 days ago
ISLAMABAD: Twelve private housing societies have sprung up within a radius of four to six kilometres of the under-construction New Islamabad Airport in Fatehjang.
Since there are no rules and regulations regarding the minimum distance of residential areas from airports, the housing schemes are mushrooming around the new airport, the Senate standing committee on cabinet secretariat was informed on Tuesday.
Senator Kalsoom Parveen, who chaired the meeting of the committee, raised concerns over the growth of the private housing societies in the close vicinity of the new airport.
“We need to take special care, particularly after the unfortunate incident of firing at the national flag carrier at Peshawar airport,” Senator Parveen added.
Senator Mushahidullah Khan said: “We should learn something from the gruesome attack on the Karachi airport. The attack on the national flag carrier at Peshawar airport was even more serious as the mode of the attack made almost everyone vulnerable.”
There is no law on minimum distance between airport and settlements, says commissioner
He said with a jungle of houses around airports, how can even the law enforcement agencies ensure that there would not be any such attack in future? “We are also making the same mistake for future planning,” he added.
But Commissioner Rawalpindi Zahid Saeed informed the meeting that there were no rules and regulations defining the minimum distance between an airport and a human settlement.
“There are no special rules for the grant of no-objection certificates (NOCs) to private land developers for the establishment of housing colonies in the surrounding areas of an airport,” he added.
Senator Saifullah Bangash said the government should immediately come up with stringent measures regarding the housing societies near the new airport as once people started constructing houses there, it would be next to impossible to displace them.
However, the commissioner suggested that parliamentarians can do legislation to define the limits.
“There is a law but that is related to the permissible height of buildings in the surroundings of the airports which varies from 60 feet to 350 feet,” the commissioner added. “The total land possessed by these housing societies is about 17,000 kanals, and there is a limited time period to do anything.”
He said besides the development agencies, the housing societies needed to obtain an additional NOC from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
Out of the 12 housing societies, five have obtained the NOCs from the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) while seven have been issued the documents by the Tehsil Municipal Administration Fatehjang.
“But the development of one of the housing societies - Top City - has been stopped as it was located along the boundary wall of the new airport,” he added.
Senator Parveen said the committee had earlier directed the development authorities to stop issuing NOCs to the private societies near the new airport but no one followed the orders.
The CDA member planning and design, Waseem Ahmad Khan, informed the meeting that almost half of the proposed airport area falls under the municipal limits of Rawalpindi and the rest was within the district of Attock.
As the committee members discussed cancelling the housing schemes, Senator Saeeda Iqbal of the PPP said if it was the only solution the NOCs should be cancelled at once without any favouritism.
“But we need to keep in mind the plight of the citizens who have bought the plots. They must be given alternative plots in some other locations.”

@iltaf khan please come up with something new… This is an old news now and only a recommendation by the senate body
This news is just 6 days old and do u think that Senate Standing Committee is a small body and it’s recommendations has no importance???
Just saying that it is not a decision only recommendation and old in way that brothers like you have posted this many a times before also…every body knows this …
Shehzad bhai!! let them beat the bush :):). They have nothing else to post nor they have any knowledge to share anything else , so thats why they are copy pasting same thing time n again.
But fact of the matter is, CDA is not having any potential to develop I 15 OR 1 16 as they havent yet develop E 12 for the last so many years and are about to launch C15 and C 16 , so brotherly advice is, switch your investment from these sectors.
