Housing Foundation informed that 4280 acre land was acquired in G-13 and G-14, out of which 7446 plots were developed and subsequently allotted. However, the remaining 8% of the total plots were not handed over to the allottees as these were under the possession of illegal occupants.

Representatives of agencies in question were asked to explain their positions on the issue and each presented a host of issues being faced due to lack of coordination with the other agency. The issue of non provision of basic facilities such as water and electricity in the sectors was linked to the non issuance of NOCs to the authorities by CDA. Similarly, the chairman was informed that water shortage was planned to be met by digging more tube wells in the sectors being hit by the shortfall.

It was revealed in the meeting that the root cause of non provision of basic facilities, to the residents, was the result of lack of coordination among the concerned agencies. Therefore, the agencies were to convene a meeting within a month to resolve all the issues. Furthermore, a committee under the chairmanship of Adviser Implementation Mr. Shahidullah Baig was formed to monitor the progress and establish a liaison among the agencies. The committee was tasked with presenting an implementation report within 30 days.
