Even though construction has begun in E-12, I-12, C-14, and C-15, the news outlet said that the pace of development is incredibly slow. The CDA is still unable to obtain land for the areas it acquired in 2008 as compensation cases are still pending and hence no progress made in D-13, F-13, E-13, C-13, H-16, and I-17.

The Sector Development Committee will be led by the CDA chairman and comprise representatives from planning, the director general of works, engineering, estates, and other departments, according to a notification issued in this respect. The committee will review and make decisions about matters such as land acquisition, award, ownership and demarcation of land, compensation for built-up property and land, clearance of encroachment, infrastructure development, and hiring of consultants and contractors. The group will also investigate the issues of park development, upkeep, funding, and budget.
