PESHAWAR – Unapproved Housing Projects in Peshawar continue to surge and latest list shows leading names in provincial capital of KP. A recent report issued by Local Government Department of KP raised serious concerns over unchecked growth of illegal and unregistered housing societies across the region.
As per official data, more than 90 percent of the housing societies in KP are not legally sanctioned. The breakdown reveals that 60 percent of the societies are outright illegal, while another 30 percent remain unregistered. Only 10 percent — a total of just 80 societies — are legally recognized by the authorities.

The report found that hundreds of societies are functioning illegally without meeting the required regulatory standards, and around 250 are operating without proper registration. Officials warn that these developments not only pose risks to investors but also contribute to unplanned urban sprawl, strain on civic infrastructure, and environmental degradation.
In a bid to curb this alarming trend, the Local Government Department has published the names of all illegal and unregistered societies on its official website and has urged the public to verify the legal status of any project before making investment decisions.
Officials earlier hinted at possible legal action and demolitions against defaulters in the coming months, but no major action was conducted.
