I WOULD like to draw the attention of the DHA Lahore administration to one of the pressing issues impacting its residents. The DHA has finalised plans to convert amenity plots (recreational parks) into residential/commercial plots in Phase-8.

The residents of Block Q (former Air Avenue), Phase-8, DHA have made it their home through their hard-earned money to live in a society which would allow them a safe and healthy environment. Such a scheme will not only bring a bad name to DHA’s reputation, but also deprive the residents of the area of a healthy activity which is presently available in the form of recreational parks.

I would request DHA to reconsider scrapping the proposed plan in the best interest of the residents.
