\"LDA<\/a><\/p>\n

I am neither a correspondent of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) nor do I work for them; however, what I am observing is that the LDA seems to be really serious about LDA City. It appears as if the civic authority has learnt a lesson or two from the fiasco that was (and for the most part, still is) LDA Avenue I, where allottees still await possession since the inception of the project more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n

Update: <\/strong>The LDA plans to buy trouble-free land for LDA City.<\/p>\n

According to a news source, the authority has decided to acquire six entire villages to avoid litigation issues in future. With this decision, LDA City will now span 61,000 kanals instead of the 45,000 kanals that were marketed in the start.<\/p>\n

I am not really sure about the future prospects of LDA City at the moment, but the fact that the southern loop of the Lahore Ring Road will pass through the society to link it to the M2 Motorway and Multan Road gives it some potential if the LDA plays its cards right this time.<\/p>\n

The news source I am quoting stated further that the LDA would acquire the following villages whole: Rakh Jhedu, Sidhar, Kahna Kacha, They Panju, Toor Warraich, and Halloki. The authority has a lot riding on LDA City, and to make extra sure that nothing goes wrong, the development work is slated to begin only after the land in question has been acquired completely by the LDA.<\/p>\n

While this is a good step, I am ever the naysayer, and still have reservations about the possible dearth of agricultural acreage this will cause. The LDA needs to be very mindful of the fact that this land belongs largely to poor farmers, who it should take care to compensate justly.<\/p>\n

And what about LDA Avenue I?<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to an LDA official, the authority is handing over block-to-block possession in LDA Avenue I. The process is almost complete in C-Block and D-Block is next, where the allottees will be given possession starting next week.<\/p>\n

If you have any query about LDA City or LDA Avenue I in mind, let\u2019s start a discussion in the comments section below. I\u2019d be glad to help you all in any way I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
