Development Works Status

The development works in KMT were carried out in 1990 in Phase I and II. Since then no further development carried out.

However,
Phase III should have developed to date and the work done in Phase-I and II as time went on and the non-construction of houses by the allottees, the development work has been dilapidated.


That said, ongoing Management has started the repair and rehabilitation works in KMT in Phase-I and II.

In addition, utility services like electricity are available in phases I and II. 

In addition, some security staff was also put there to make the model town a safe place to live.

A question people get asked?

Is a willing allottee able to build a house in KMT now?

Our short answer to this question is always ‘Yes’.

(Because

a 10-Marla MODEL HOUSE already built in KMT to attract the attention of those allottees of KMT who intend to build a house).

However, most allottees of this project belong to either far-flung areas of Azad Jammu & Kashmir or are not willing to build a house immediately due to some utilities not being present in KMT Rawalpindi.

Possession Status

Possessions of the plot are given to the allottees. Security arrangements have been made.

With that, a model house has been constructed in the Scheme encouraging members to build homes.

KMT is located on Main Chakri Road in Rawalpindi next to Al-Haram City (a popular housing project). It is about 19 KM away from GPO, Islamabad.
