Lahore Develop-ment Authority (LDA) has set up a special counter at its One Window Cell in Johar Town office for providing necessary information regarding plots of approved private housing societies. According to a LDA's spokesperson on Tuesday, the staff of the Metropolitan Planning Wing of LDA has been deputed at this counter for responding to public queries and verifying particulars of plots being sold by these housing schemes.
This measure has been taken in view of the increasing public complaints regarding sale of mortgaged plots, additional plots on un-approved area as well as plots demarcated on public utility sites like schools, dispensaries, community centre and graveyards etc, by these schemes. Intending buyers have been asked to beware of being defrauded and consult the LDA staff before settling deals for purchasing plots in approved or unapproved housing schemes and sub-divisions, falling within the jurisdiction of Lahore district.
