Here a discussion is going on that an army officer when becomes major gets one plot and he keeps on getting one plot at each promotion........I don't know from where this information is coming.......must be of a non-Pak Army..........In Pakistan Army it is not the rule.......it is on completion of no. of service years....my friend can go to Pak Army HQ to verify this. Yes DHA VIII is better located as compared with DHA VII that is why its price is higher..........

@ MAS Jeddah, It is half true, Actual is like; " Wherever Pak Army plan some scheme, it becomes prime due to its dedication/quality of work. If you are not interested do not buy/live in our army run areas."
@ In Army, for every plot or home, we pay installments for years just like other societies of provincial and federal departments. Yes these may be less as compared to market because actual amount is charged on Islamic way and no profit is included.
Its Pak Army and if you are Pakistani then speak anything after checking..............

Statistics say, When ever a person with army back ground have ruled Pakistan, the country grow in all sectors.
Even this web site was started, when Pakistan was lead by professionalism of army.

Unfortunately, today's Pakistan is ruled by India via media and lies.

@ali11

It is neither discipline nor education which has resulted in creation of DHAs in Pakistan. Below are the real reasons.

1. Army has unlimited supply of funds for creation of these housing schemes. Nobody is there to question them on expenses. There is as much corruption in Army as everywhere else but nobody is able to expose them due to fear. Remember Gen Zarrar "Zameen". What happened to him after he did all that corruption. Do you think that army people have landed in Pakistan from Mars and are not locals?

2. Nobody can question Army whenever they try to take / purchase land. Everybody including police / media / politicians / general public are scared of this monster.

3. Army has intentionally created this impression (which is correct) that there can be no irregularity in DHA and they have proved it. No problems. But they have been in power in the country for more than 30 years out of 64. Couldnt they do same for rest of the country. Ofcourse not because this would have brought other housing schemes at par with DHA and if this happened then how will they be able to sell their low price plots at huge margins.

4. As far as I know,army officers get one plot per DHA. I may be wrong. Somebody needs to verify this. I have seen army officers having a plot in DHA lhr, one in DHA khi and so on.

If somebody criticizes army, it does not mean that he is not patriotic. We have to stop making army as a holy institution. They are human, can make mistakes (actually have made more than anybody in Pakistan's history) and need to be corrected whenever they make one.

Is there any other country where Army has this large commercial interests? I mean they can acquire any land if they need even for their housing projects in the name of National Interest with the minimal wages and then after developing and making some goodwill they acquire the land against plot(25% of the acquired land).

This is called monopoly. No one can challenge as they wud say they are purchasing it at market price. Also at the time of selling they give the prime locations to their clan at a lesser rate than they sell these to the civilians to adjust their costs. Such type of monopoly is considered as a crime in the civilised world.

All those who are speaking against army here are hippocrates (soory to say that) who invites them to buy plots in DHA if they think its expensive? For example, how many army officers are living in DHA Lhr and how many are civilians? Come on, show some sense and dont poison people,s mind.
By the way, I am not from Army

We love Pakistan not the corrupt (politicians Nor Pak Army) we need to informed citizen that is the only way we can help Pakistan defending corrupt army will not help this cause.

US support pak army during Mussaraf tenure with $ 10 billion undocumented that is official figures from US Senate.

What we have really achieved after spending 60% of our GDP on pak army except they conquered pakistan copple of time

it is not true that the army has best real estate. It is that they made it best. Ask someone who has seen dha lahore 20 years ago, it was worthless land and no one would even look at it
