The whole nation is in tears, wailing and crying as they are inundated with a plethora of problems. Solve one and you have another to cry over. The private employee weeps over the meager salary and no perks while government servants weep over reduced pensions and scams. Lahore Development Authority (LDA) which was recently in the news for a huge fire engulfing the upper building has also been a culprit in cheating its own employees of millions of rupees.The LDA launched a housing society by the name of LDA Avenue One in 2002.They collected money from the people who were allotted the plots, in the form of installments which were regularly paid. After a while the LDA declared that many of the plots came under litigation and the cases are in the court and such plot holders cannot sell their files. Now it has been 11 years since this scheme was launched, and the LDA still says that the cases are in the courts and they cannot do anything about it. Some of the affected employees are near to retirement and want their investment back. This is their hard earned money. We the effected would like to request CM Shahbaz Sharif to look into the matter and resolve it and not to leave our fate into the hands of such merciless people as the staff at LDA.RIZWAN YUSUF,Lahore, June 17.
