A few days after Citi Housing allotted over 4,000 plots to file owners in its Samundri Road project, Faisalabad Development Authority (FDA) realized that the project is illegal. According to news sources, deputy director, Town Planning and his team raided the site and stopped the development work. Furthermore, the Deputy Collector Faisalabad was also directed that registration of property transfer in Citi Housing should immediately be stopped.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t end, there as senior officials from Water and Sanitation Agency (Wasa), Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (Fesco) and the Sui Gas Department were also asked to not allow water, electricity and Sui Gas connections to be established for Citi Housing\u2019s Samundri Road project. FDA has also warned the public to protect their investment by staying away from buying land here. That is one side of the picture. The other side is, however, less gloomy.<\/p>\n

Allotment procedure of about 95% plots offered by Citi Housing was completed in less than one week. People literally spent several hours in the heat just to make sure that they don\u2019t fail to acquire a plot against the file they own. The tremendous response received for Citi Housing Faisalabad plots<\/a>\u00a0speaks volume about the trust developer enjoys in Faisalabad. The fast track development of the project as well as the fact that Citi Housing has delivered their previous projects well before the promised time and per the committed standards is the sole reason why people here trust the brand name.<\/p>\n

It is very likely that that the Samundri Road project will also be completed in one year while the developer\u2019s instalment plan spans three years. Ideally, it won\u2019t harm the developer to slow the work pace but this doesn\u2019t seem to be part of their plan. Meanwhile, Citi Housing is also looking to launch Citi Housing Phase I Extension on Sargodha Road to accommodate the remaining file owners, estimated to be about 2000 in number.<\/p>\n

FDA, on the other hand, has had a project pending for the last one decade and there is no update on its development status. Located on Sargodha Road, FDA City has not even got electricity connections yet, let alone offer plot possession to the respective owners. This project spans several hundred acres of land and for the last 10 years, there has hardly been a development convincing enough to attract investors. The average rate on land here is almost the same as it was 10 years ago and still no one is willing to invest in it.<\/p>\n

The FDA thinks that exercising the power designated to it through Punjab Local Government Ordinance 2001 and Punjab Development of Cities Act 1976 Section 5\/12 is a public service act; but who should be contacted to find out why the FDA-approved FDA City has been at a standstill for the past several years?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
