E-11 Updates replied on Friday, May 20, 2011 07:06 PM
Aamir is right the only good thing is its location and low prices as compared to regular CDA sectors. There are only a handful good plots left for sale. In my opiniion few plots around plot 90 in High Street which have opening towards Northern Strip car park are good as well as few in sub-street 88.
However, please keep following points in mind about E-11 which I noticed from my personal experience.
Drawbacks of E-11
- e/11 is developed by private societies and not by CDA. CDA refused to take over from societies due to the fact that they violated approved planning /map.
- Reserved plots for parks and green areas sold as commercial and residential plots, there is not a single park in whole E-11 sector
- Land for schools have been sold as residential and commercial plots, no school plot left on the map
- In all four sub sectors, land of nullahs have been filled, extra plots created and sold. This resulted heavy flood last year when these nullah over flooded and retaining walls were shattered. This is major concern which is till not sorted out. Anyone can see this situation in High Street, Stree 88 junction with main double road and E-11/1 medical. Medical Society specifically changed the nullah in to a small nali and also shelterd it without taking into account the flow of water when there is heavy rain.
- Improper development work was done. As a result this is the only sector in Islamabad where there are five story houses due to deep excavation and some of the houses have their ground floor on their neighbour’s roof particularly in High Street
- Whole sector has only one accessible double road which is unfinished for the last three years due to litigation with local MNA
- Societies have barred open access in various parts of E-11 by putting gates on their boundaries
- Societies have imposed monthly service charges on account of street lights, waste, and drainage, where as there are no street lights in most of the areas, no waste disposal system in place, no proper drainage system with sewage inflow at most places.
- Lot of residential plots have been converted into commercial plot and there is litigation on this issue within societies
-Half of the roads are still kacha where houses are constructed years back and presently covered with heap of dust of kacha roads.
- Most of the houses are rented out by the owners because the present living conditions are not conducive, that’s why the rent is much less even that of G/11 |
