RUDA Action 2025 – Illegal Housing Societies in Lahore Explained

The real estate sector in Lahore is again in the highlights. In 2025, RUDA has issued a list of illegal housing societies. This decision has shocked many buyers and investors. People now want to know what it means for their money and property. This blog explains the issue in simple words. It also shares what Mr. Nasir Gondal thinks about the matter. He believes buyers must stay alert and choose safe options. Let’s look at the details of this update from RUDA.

 

What is RUDA?

RUDA stands for Ravi Urban Development Authority. It was created in 2020. Its purpose was to manage the Ravi River area. The plan was to build dams, stop floods, and make housing and commercial projects. From 2020 to 2025, RUDA took charges from many societies. But corruption and poor management stopped the progress. If the funds had been used properly, the Ravi project could have been a great success.

 

RUDA Declares 44 Societies Illegal

In 2025, RUDA shared a list of 44 illegal housing societies in Lahore. Some examples are:

  • Al Ghani Housing Scheme Phase 3
  • Al-Rahim Garden Phase 4 and 5
  • Hassan Block
  • Noor Housing Society
  • Madina Colony

These names have created fear among property owners. Some societies are fully illegal while others have only a few phases marked as illegal. This confusion has left many buyers worried.

 

What About Park View City?

Many people ask about Park View City. The main project of Park View City is not on the illegal list. Why? Because it already has NOC approvals from both LDA and RUDA. All payments are cleared. In fact, Park View City has even started building protective dams at its own cost. This shows a difference between approved and illegal projects. It also highlights why NOC approval is so important when buying property.

 

The Theme Park Society Case

One strong example is Theme Park Society. Its owner, Khushi Muhammad, was a retired constable. He built a large project, made huge money, and ran it without legal approvals. Recently, he was arrested. This case is a warning for buyers. Always check the background of a society and its owners. Don’t risk your money in unapproved projects.

 

Lessons for Buyers and Investors

Floods are real and serious. In recent years, floods damaged areas inside Park View City and other nearby societies. People who bought in low areas faced big losses. Mr. Nasir Gondal stresses one point: Always choose safe and approved areas. Don’t take floods as a joke. Think carefully before you invest. Property decisions must protect your family’s future.

 

What Buyers Should Do Now

If you already bought in a society listed by RUDA, don’t panic. First, confirm if your block or phase is affected. Some areas may still be legal. Second, contact a trusted property consultant. The Gondal Group of Marketing is guiding clients on these matters. They deal in approved housing societies and also launch their own commercial projects like ZN Tower and The Sultan. Their goal is to give safe and secure investment options.

 

Conclusion

The action by RUDA in 2025 is a reminder. Real estate is not only about profits. Safety and approval are more important. Illegal projects put both money and peace of mind at risk. Mr. Nasir Gondal believes buyers must act wisely. Always check NOC status. Always confirm with trusted experts. If you want safe investment advice, contact Gondal Group of Marketing today.
