On the orders of Director General Muhammad Saif Anwar Jappa, the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) is cracking down on illegal housing schemes.

In accordance with the law, the RDA has issued strict orders to take action against such schemes.

According to an RDA spokesman, the authority has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against the owners of the illegal housing scheme known as Rose Valley.

The RDA’s Metropolitan Planning and Traffic Engineering (MP&TE) Directorate issued a notice to the owners who were deceiving the public on social media by falsely claiming that the society was approved. The FIR also names the owners as Zafar Mushtaq, Sharjeel Ahmad, and Haris Iftikhar.

The RDA previously served notices on the owners of four other illegal private housing schemes, including Pak Sar Zameen Town on Chakri Road, Century Town Housing Scheme, Rawat City Housing Scheme, and Al-Buraq Enclave Rawat.

The Director General has urged authorities to take harsh measures against those who break the rules. The public has also been advised not to invest in unapproved housing projects and to check the status of housing schemes on the RDA’s official website before investing.

According to an RDA spokesman, the crackdown on rule violators will continue, and strict action will be taken against unapproved housing societies.
