The Capital Development Authority (CDA) Spokesman Ramzan Sajid said Chairman Imtiaz Inayat Elahi wants to increase the housing units in the city. In recently announced budget, funds are not allocated for the new sector, so CDA will divert attention toward Zone II and V. “Meanwhile, we have demanded permission from Cabinet Division for the construction in Zone IV,” he said.
According to CDA bylaws housing societies are bound to transfer their plots allocated for the schools and mosques free of cost to CDA and CDA has to transfer ownership of the educational institute’s plots to Federal Government Directorate of Education free of cost. But sources said the Planning Wing has failed to do it. If schools would have been built, citizens residing in the main city had preferred to live in suburbs because there is less noise, environmental pollution and traffic problems.
