Lahore: Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has conducted an operation against eight illegal housing societies in the provincial capital and demolished the structures there.
According to information available to Profit, a grand operation was conducted against A&M Homes, Palm Villas, Ehsaas Villas, Maraka Marketing and Punjab Estate, while action was taken against Mohalinwal Nagar, Bismillah Associates and an illegal land subdivision near Greenview.
According to further details, during the operation, offices, roads, boundary walls and other structures of the said illegal housing schemes were also demolished.
The sources in LDA informed Profit that all the above-mentioned illegal housing societies were engaged in defrauding the public for more than two years.
“Principally and legally, it should have been that the operation against these societies should have been started only when these illegal projects were started but due to the connivance of the LDA staff, this operation took so long to start,” they said.
Sources also claimed that the said societies will rebuild their boundary walls and offices in a few days and start cheating the people again.
“This is not a new thing, but this is the style of housing societies. After a few days, you will see these illegal societies re-activating in the market and their offices will be established again. Actually demolishing their offices and conducting grand operations against them is not the real solution. The LDA officers should arrest the owners/master-minds of these illegal housing societies and keep the local police in the loop so that these societies cannot do business again,” they added.
