Punjab Minister for Housing Mian Mehmood-ur-Rasheed has said that a new 2-kilometer long link road will be constructed to provide another route to link LDA City Phase-I with Ferozpur Road. In this regard, local land owners can directly contact LDA for selling their land for this purpose.
He said that the LDA City scheme is a new city of the future which is rapidly moving towards completion. Due to the continued efforts of Vice Chairman MS Ikram, DG Muhammad Usman Mouzam and development partners, we are rapidly meeting this challenge, he added.
The Minister Housing stated this while presiding over a meeting on Wednesday to review progress made on this scheme. The meeting was told that development work is in progress on an area of 4000 kanal in LDA City.
He said that half development charges will be received from file holders and the procedure has also been finalized in this regard. Balloting to allot plots to 9000 file holders will be held on 30 November and working paper will be presented in the next governing body meeting for approval.
The meeting was told that it has been decided to prequalify the contractors for performing different development works. For this purpose, the intending firms have been asked to submit their bids by October 25. The meeting was attended by LDA officials along with development partners of the project.—INP
