ISLAMABAD: The allottees of Sector E-12 staged a protest demonstration on Thursday in front of the National Press Club to condemn the apathy and negligence of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) for neither giving possession of acquired land to them, nor developing the sector since 1989.

They lamented that several allottees had passed away during this period, waiting to get the possession of their plots.

They said that despite clear directives by the prime minister to hand over the possession of plots to the owners, the CDA had remained unmoved.

The CDA has opened many new sectors after E-12, like G-13, I-11, I-14 and I-16, which have already been developed.

Moreover, Sector D-12, which was started with Sector E-12, has also been developed.

Out of distress, the E-12 allottees demanded the CDA to immediately start developing the sector and hand over the possession of plots to them.

They also requested Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani to take notice of the CDA’s negligence on the issue, and asked the honourable chief justice of Pakistan to take suo motu notice of the issue on humanitarian grounds.
