Faisalabad: The Faisalabad Development Authority (FDA) has announced a strict crackdown on the illegal sale of housing plot files, warning developers that violations will not be tolerated.
In a high-level meeting with representatives of private housing schemes, FDA Director General Muhammad Asif Chaudhry emphasized that selling plots without the actual land or exceeding the approved area constitutes fraud and deception against the public. “Such actions will lead to criminal cases being filed against those responsible,” he said.
Chaudhry reminded developers that under the Private Housing Schemes Rules Punjab 2021, they are legally required to maintain records of all plot sales and purchases. He also highlighted the importance of compliance with approval requirements, marketing procedures, and proper display of layout plans, utility sites, and amenities for public awareness.
FDA officials have been instructed to conduct rigorous inspections of housing schemes to ensure adherence to the rules, with field inspectors facing strict action for negligence. The FDA aims to eliminate the illegal “file system” of plot sales through close coordination with the Punjab government and local authorities.
Additional Director General Qaiser Abbas Rind, Director Town Planning Asma Mohsin, Director IT Yasir Ejaz Chattha, and other senior officials attended the meeting.
