LAHORE: The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) is all set to move a summary to the chief minister/chairman of its governing body for inclusion of areas of Muridke, Kala Shah Kaku, Ferozewala, Kot Abdul Malik and Sharaqpur of Sheikhupura district and Phoolnagar and Kot Radha Kishan of Kasur district in the jurisdictions of Lahore city district/metropolitan area as defined in the government notifications issued in May 1975 and January 1988.
The objective behind this development is not only to get the areas included in the Lahore metropolitan but also to avoid delay in processing the cases of housing schemes falling in the aforementioned districts, which, under the recent ordinance about squeezing the limits of the LDA, no more falls in the LDA jurisdiction and are supposed to be sent to the respective defunct town municipal administrations (TMAs), Dawn has learnt.
