Lack of Entrepreneurship in Pakistan

---

Pakistan, although it has strong potential to be an entrepreneurial nation, there are certain problems that prevent it from being so. One of the problems is land development ventures. The profits from the land-game being higher then from productive business activity, the attention, efforts and capital shift from productive business to trading in land/plots leading to rise in real estate prices. Thus, the land-game adversely affects entrepreneurship/business. Land development and allotment in Pakistan has been an opportunity involving all those with surplus wealth, including, civil servants, judiciary, politicians and the army personnel. This may have become the single most impediments to development of entrepreneurial or business environment in Pakistan which locks funds that could have been available for productive activities/business.

SC seeks record of houses built on DHA's streets

---

ISLAMABAD: A three member bench of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry demanded a record of the houses constructed on Defense Housing Authority's (DHA) streets.

The plea filed by DHA requested to block a few roads, but the CJ overruled it saying streets and roads are constructed for people and cannot be blocked.

He said the constitution does not allow land lock.

Justice Khalil-ur-Rehman Ramday remarked that in such a case, poor people will have to buy helicopters to move from one place to another.

After seeing the maps, Justice Jawad S. Khwaja said that DHA had not shaped the streets on the maps and people have built houses there.

I visited area last month.

E-16:
Location of E-16 is much better than B-17.
CDECHS management is giving dates for possession from last 2 years but failed. Good development standard & town planning.Development work is near completion.

B-17:
Construction is allowed in B block where construction of houses is going on. Good development standard & town planning.
In A block development work is near completion.

If U can wait E-16 is better option.

In Pakistan people prefer place near main road. E-16 &
B-17 (A&B Blocks) are good places for living.E-17 will take more time for living being away from main road.

Price approx 1.25 lekh marla in E-16 and B Block B-17.
Readers are requested to please comment on price.

AWT or Chinar BAGH ? Final decision

---

Salam,

I looked all over the town and i cant find any place with better prices than AWT and Chinar bagh. AWT is a bit expensive and chinar bagh is a bit further down than AWT i-e cheap.

So what do you guys recommend for constructing a house straight away and moving in. ?

I need to consider security wise as well. I am very confused as this real estate market is driving me crazy.

Or the other choice i have is of Khayaban e amin 5 marla double story house or 28Lac and i will get possession in 1.5 years. But i dont the reputaton of sahir associates and the future prospects of khayaban e amin. Please advise me on it as well. Is it worth risking 28 lac for 5 marla ( thekedar built ) house.

What do you think is the time frame for developement of AWT or chinar bagh residential wise.

Aashiyana housing scheme to be the best in country

---

Punjab Chief Minister, Shahbaz Sharif has said low-cost housing scheme 'Aashiyana' will be the first residential scheme where low-income people and labourers will have all basic facilities. "It will be the best housing schemes in the country," he added. The chief minister was addressing the foundation stone laying ceremony of Link Road leading Aashiyana Housing Project here on Saturday.

The chief minister said he would personally monitor this project for the welfare of poor masses and ensure its early completion. "A comprehensive programme has been evolved for provision of residential facilities and generation of job opportunities in the first Aashiyana Housing Scheme at Suae Asal. Separate land has been specified for cottage industry so that the labourers could have job opportunities at the local level instead of going to Lahore or Kasur," he added.

He said launching of low-cost housing scheme in the province was a revolutionary step of the government, which would fulfil the dream of poor people of having their own house. Aashiyana Housing Project would be the first residential scheme for the common man who would have not only have a great construction work but also schools, dispensaries, playgrounds for cricket, hockey and other sports as well as all necessary facilities.

He said 10 percent quota had been reserved for orphans, widows and families of martyrs in Aashiyana Housing Scheme and modalities have also been evolved for this purpose whereas remaining 90 percent houses would be given through transparent balloting. He also said in the first phase, 6000 houses would be constructed at Suae Asal within a year and 70,000 forms have been distributed so far for these houses.

"The foundation stone of the Link Road to Aashiyana Housing Project has been laid and the widening and improvement work of this 17 km long road from Suae Asal to Raiwind will be started from December 26, 2010. The construction of the road will result in provision of modern communication facilities to the residents. A high standard of construction work of the road would be ensured and besides installation of lights, tree plantation also be ensured," he added.

The chief minister said that national resources on large scale were plundered in the name of development projects in the past and development projects became icons of corruption while the present government put an end to malpractices and transformed these schemes into public welfare projects in real sense.
