He added that a project must acquire a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from RDA Rawalpindi before it can be considered acceptable or legal. Unfortunately, these businesses' websites deceive the public by advertising unlawful housing projects and tricking people into making substantial investments.

The advertising businesses have been advised not to engage in such illicit actions since they could mislead the public. The RDA has ordered the civic organization to take down all buildings connected to these illicit schemes that could lead to significant financial transactions from the public in the form of purchasing plots in unapproved/fake/illegal housing plans. He concluded that RDA's website makes it simple to find out any project's legal status or obtain directly from the RDA offices.
