He requested them to consider shifting to the new project, which he claimed was being developed on a \u2018no-profit, no-loss\u2019 model.<br \/>\nIf the Federal Government has not provided any funds to aid this development, it is a pity. This sort of suburban expansion is exactly what a massive, overpopulated city like Karachi needs. But kudos to the LDA for using its resources for what appears thus far to be a very worthwhile cause.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to wish the authority the very best of luck with this project, and it is our hope that it manages to pull this off.
