Housing scheme clarifies report; The News stands by its story

Islamabad Property:

The management of Margala View Housing Scheme (MVHS) would like to clarify a news report
‘Land mafias violating CDA rules with impunity’ published in ‘The News’ on September 10, 2013.

Noland has been grabbed by it as the entire area is in lawful ownership/possession of MVHS.
The story seems to be based on wrong information. Some persons had filed a complaint / petition
in the Supreme Court in September 2011. The apex court on the basis of information provided by
CDA has disposed off the Application (HRC No. 32129 - G/2011), as the allegations were found 
baseless.
The complainant has submitted this application in CDA as well to defame and blackmail 
TCHL and we reserve the right to take him in the court of Law. Recently the said persons
filed another writ petition in the Islamabad High Court regarding shifting of main mosque
of the scheme. In this case it is clarified that the land of mosque is not being used for
commercial building. The factual position that only location has been changed according 
to the Revised Layout Plan. This change of location has been endorsed by the Margallians
Welfare Association (MWA), formed by the residents of the society.

Need to protect precious birds in Margalla stressed

Islamabad Property:

Precious species of birds present in abundance in Margalla Hills – adjacent to the federal capital – are facing severe threats to their existence.
The romanticism of Margalla Hills seemed to have attracted a large number of birds, as about 460 different species of birds are reported to be settled there.
One can hardly witness such a large variety of birds anywhere else in the country in a limited area, having a combination of many ecological components, which makes it a unique location.
Birds, which play an important role in enhancing the beauty of the nature, are precious assets, the safety of which should be among the top priorities of the authorities and the locals alike. But unfortunately, no attention is being paid to safeguard this asset.

Birds like chief pheasant, monal and alexandrine parakeet, present in abundance in Margalla Hills, are facing threats and there is a dire need to preserve these species of birds,” said Safan Shahab Ahmad, an environment expert.
He said that pheasant and monal were among the most precious species and more parks should be established to preserve them, besides putting a ban on cutting of trees to save their nests. He urged the citizens, civil society and the government to make joint efforts to protect the environment at the hills.
