I-16 allottees get land possession after 16 years

The residential sector was launched in 1992, but the disputes of compensation and the acquisition of land halted the development process of the sector. After hectic efforts, the authority announced the award of the land for disputed service roads in 1995, while the matter regarding the compensation is still unresolved.

"The service roads of North and South would be completed by April," he hoped.

He said some 3,000 people had been allotted residential plots in the sector.
