The Ministry of Interior has sought detailed report within three days from the Capital Development Authority (CDA) regarding the abolition of category III plot quota allocated for authority's low grade employees in Sector I-8 8 to adjust DMG officers working in the authority on deputation, Business Recorder reliably learnt on Friday.
According to the informed sources that Capital civic body had allocated 20 percent plot quota in Sector I-8 for CDA's grade 14 and above employees in 1990, which was now abolished by the new chairman to accommodate officials working there on deputation for the last few years.
However, insiders told this scribe that Kmaran Lashari has issued a notification asking CDA low-grade employees to apply for nearly 800 flats to be built in Sector G-11 by June 15. A 200-member employees delegation met the CDA chairman and demanded restoration of their plot quota.
They categorically rejected the CDA decision, threatening to challenge the abolition of plots quota in the Lahore High Court (LHC) Rawalpindi Bench
after July 7 if their demands were not met.
More than 195 plots in Sector I-8 commissioned in 1990 by PPP Government were allocated for about 125 DMG officials and other deputationists working in the authority.
However, CDA has planned about 800 flats for employees of grade 14 and above employees in Sector I-11, which are in no way different for catering the residential requirements of around 11, 000 workers.
CDA has so far not started construction work on these flats and the fate of the residential project is uncertain, an employee added.
CDA chairman has also directed the officers who have yet to get plots in I-8 Sector to file their application with the concerned directorate along with affidavit of not having plots in Islamabad or elsewhere, source informed.
Sources told Business Recorder that they (DMG officers) had already received plots from the Housing Foundation, which were either sold or transferred in the name of their relatives.
The market value of Category III or II plot in Sector I-8 is about Rs 10 million.
More than 70 percent plots have already been given to these officers in this sector, sources said.
The question has also been moved in the National Assembly for debate.
