To address this, the RDA has issued notices and instructed the MP&TE Directorate to take legal action against illegal advertisements and marketing. The Director General of RDA, Kinza Murtaza, has directed that First Information Reports (FIRs) be filed against the owners of these fraudulent schemes.
He stated that the MP&TE Directorate has issued a warning to the public to steer clear of illegal housing schemes and avoid falling victim to unauthorized offers. The developers of these schemes are unlawfully advertising and selling plots without RDA approval, which breaches rule 46 (1) of the Punjab Development Authorities Private Housing Scheme Rules-2021.
