Introduction
The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) is a government agency responsible for the development and planning of the city of Lahore, Pakistan. LDA approves housing schemes and other development projects in the city, and ensures that they meet all applicable regulations. However, there are a number of illegal housing Societies operating in Lahore. These schemes are not approved by the LDA and do not meet all applicable regulations. As a result, residents of illegal housing schemes may face a number of problems, such as:
Lack of basic infrastructure, such as roads, water, and sewage systems.
Poor quality construction.
Difficulty obtaining legal title to their property.
Risk of their property being demolished by the LDA.
