A delegation of Federation of Realtors Pakistan and Islamabad Estate Agents Association called on Chairman RDA Tariq Mehmood Murtaza and Director General RDA Capt. (R) Abdul Sattar Issani in RDA. President Federation of Realtors Pakistan and the delegation congratulated DG RDA Capt. (R) Abdul Sattar Issani on his appointment as DG RDA and apprised the Chairman RDA and DG RDA about the problems being faced by the real estate industry including builders and developers.

RDA Chairman Tariq Mehmood Murtaza assured the delegation to resolve its problems. He said that the approval system has been simplified. The construction package reflects the vision of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, which has removed all impediments faced by the sector in its success. He said the remaining issues will also be resolved. Land Subdivision Rule 2020 is to be approved by the Cabinet, whereas, LDA Rule will also be applied in RDA. All builders and developers have been advised to submit their proposals as per Land Subdivision Rule 2020, he added.

Sardar Tahir Mehmood said that water supply should be provided to the housing societies from Ghazi Barotha Dam. 

Chairman RDA asked the delegation to share their consent and plan in this regard. Chairman RDA assured to the delegation that the issues relating to the housing societies would be referred to RDA till the decision of the competent court. 

No punishment or harassment will be inflicted on them. DG RDA Capt. (R) Abdul Sattar Issani directed the owners of private housing schemes to transfer commercial and residential plots from RDA. Self-transfer by private housing schemes is against the law which apart from the plot buyers, the government is also at a disadvantage. Paying government fee in accordance with the law is the legal duty of every housing society management and citizens, whereas, this is the only way to secure plots, he said.
