LDA launches new 3-year installment scheme for fully developed residential and commercial plots

The Lahore Development Authority announced a new fifth computerized balloting window for fully developed residential and commercial plots, with applications accepted from April 1 to May 11, 2026, and balloting scheduled for May 18, 2026. Plots are offered in Johar Town (M Block, F-1 Block, R-1 Block) and Moedanwal Scheme (D Block), with 12 equal quarterly installments over three years.

Ongoing civic challenges persist in LDA Avenue-I, highlighting systemic infrastructure gaps

Residents of LDA Avenue-I continue to face unresolved civic issues—including lack of gas pipelines, non-functional water supply systems requiring private pumps, undeveloped parks and schools, and inadequate security—despite over two decades of existence. A Dawn report published December 2025 documents resident protests planned against LDA headquarters in Johar Town, underscoring institutional delays and litigation-related bottlenecks.
