    • Bahria Enclave in News

  • ISLAMABAD, Jul 11, 2011: Consumer body advises caution in investing in CDA and Bahria housing enclaves;
  • "The investor/ consumer has right to know if Bahria has NOC from CDA which is mandatory for the housing scheme and if CDA has the possession of this land."
  • "Both schemes need to be analyzed in the light of the law of Competition Commission of Pakistan which prohibits the deceptive marketing practices by distribution false or misleading information to consumers."
  • "Both schemes are located in environment sensitive catchment area of the Rawal lake. The consumer needs to know if the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of both the schemes is conducted."

    • Investor concerns

    There is a huge concern in general public against recent housing schemes and absence of laws to protect the public.

    1. The developer should not be able to initiate a project without having a NOC from the local authority, in this case CDA.
    2. The national body should regulate the housing schemes and set necessary standards for development.
    3. The national body should ensure protection of the investment in case the developer fails to deliver the project.
    4. Investors should be able to claim compensation if the developer fails to deliver the project within a given timeframe.
    5. The developer should ensure necessary community areas within the development e.g. bus stop, taxi stops, ambulance station, fire station, police station, hospital, schools, clinics, parks, graveyards, mosques, sports grounds, etc.
    6. The national body should ensure access to all the utilities, like gas, electricity and water to each scheme to ensure timely development.
