Hence, only 25 percent societies are developed of which most are poorly maintained. Continue reading »

Article by Ansar Abbasi, published in “The News” on 15-Nov-2011;

The National Police Foundation (NPF), which was established for the welfare of police officials, has ended up scandalously allotting Islamabad land worth billions of rupees at throwaway prices to the ruling elite, including generals, bureaucrats, ambassadors, close relatives of top police officials and well-connected civilians.

The loot sale of a facility created for the welfare of the poor cops has been going on in sectors E-11 and O-9 of Islamabad, which were purchased by the government-controlled NPF on nominal prices for the benefit of all police forces in the country. Now it turns out that the privileged ones have gobbled up everything, generously. Continue reading »

 Lahore Development Authority (LDA) decided on Monday to launch two new housing schemes in the provincial metropolis, namely LDA City and LDA Avenue-II, by issuing a formal notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894.
The decision was taken in a meeting of LDA`s governing body that was presided over by authority`s chairman and DCO Ahad Cheema.

Participants in the meeting decided that after acquiring land from the landowners and developing the aforementioned schemes, the LDA would give incentive to them by returning 30 per cent developed plots of their total surrendered land.

The LDA would also charge only 50 per cent of the total development cost against the landowners` developed plots. This amount would be received at the time of handing over possession of the plots to them, they decided.

A topographic survey of both the schemes had been completed and the schemes` area had been declared as an LDA controlled area through a notification issued on May 25, 2011. Continue reading »

اگر آپ ، خدانخواستہ، کسی بھی ایک عام پاکستانی پولیس اسٹیشن میں داخل ہوجائیں تو آپ کو ایک بے سروسامانی، ایک غول بیابانی کا سماں نظر آئے گا۔ نہ عمارت ہی مناسب ہوگی، نہ ہی سروسامان۔ اس کے مکین بھی سر جھاڑے، منہ پھاڑے، پھٹی پھٹی آنکھوں سے آپ کا استقبالِ پُرملال کریں گے۔ قریب ہی ان کا ایک خستہ حال موبائل ٹرک ہوگا، جو پیٹرول، ڈیزل کی خشک ٹنکی کی وجہ سے صرف اور صرف دھکّے سے چل سکے گا۔ ٹیلیفون بند، پانی بجلی کا بل ادا نہ ہوا ہوگا، نہ بندوق میں گولی ملے گی، نہ کاغذ قلم اور روشنائی۔ کمپیوٹر سسٹم کا کیا کہنا! اگر ان چیزوں میں سے کچھ موجود بھی ہوا تو انہیں استعمال Continue reading »
