PTA to Impose Ban on Misleading Ads of Housing Societies on Social Media
According to LDA, PTA should inflict a ban on social media advertisements of unapproved or illegal housing schemes which are operational in Lahore division. LDA highlighted the issues while revealing that many illegal private housing schemes are advertising themselves through ad and media campaigns. As there are many illegal projects advertised through campaigns, many users have become victims of it, losing all their money in fake investments.
How such Fake Scheme Misguide Social Media Users?
The companies, especially the housing schemes, portray the most attractive images of the projects with 3D renders which are not the actual ones. They do not mention the physical and legal status of the projects. Due to this, many people buy such properties without knowing the actual details. Due to such activities, many illegal sales of files and plots are made which are not claimable in future as well. LDA revealed that according to Rule 45 of the LDA private housing scheme, the company cannot publicise their scheme before acquiring no objection certificate from the authority. Due to this, the authority has requested PTA to impost ban on unauthorised adverts of housing projects on social media. Also Read: IHC admits petition against new social media laws
