Veteran Enclave under RDA Scanner over Alleged Illegal Plot Sales in Taxila

RAWALPINDI – Rawalpindi Development Authority continues to tighten the noose around unauthorized real estate ventures, and it issued a show-cause notice to CEO of a housing society over alleged marketing and sale of plots in an unapproved housing scheme in Taxila. The action comes amid a wider crackdown on developers operating without mandatory approvals and regulatory clearances. As per the recent announcement, RDA issued a show-cause notice to Chief Executive Officer of Veteran Enclave Limited over the alleged marketing and sale of plots in an unapproved housing scheme on the directives of Rawalpindi Division Commissioner and RDA Director General Engineer Aamir Khattak. The company allegedly launched aggressive promotional campaigns, including advertisements on social media, while offering residential plots to the public without securing the mandatory No Objection Certificate (NOC) and other required approvals from the relevant authorities. The authority maintained that no housing scheme can legally market, advertise, or sell plots without obtaining prior approval, warning that such activities may expose investors to significant financial risks. Officials further revealed that the Metropolitan Planning and Traffic Engineering (MP&TE) Directorate has stepped up surveillance of housing projects across the region and is closely monitoring schemes suspected of operating without regulatory clearance. The latest action forms part of an ongoing campaign by the RDA to curb illegal developments, protect public investment, and ensure compliance with planning and development regulations. Authorities have urged citizens to verify the approval status of housing projects before making any property-related investments. As authorities intensify oversight of real estate sector, the company’s CEO or official representative is yet to respond to this development.
