The scheme, launched on March 21, 2007 with an estimated cost of 925.147 million rupees, spreads on 200 acres and has 1,643 residential plots.

Previous visit
On March 20, 2008, I visited the site of Rawalpindi Press Club Housing Scheme. It is situated 20 kilometres from Zero Point at Loi Bher. Development work is being carried out briskly and I saw sewerage lines and manholes already built near the main road. Here are few photos.
The Rawalpindi Press Club housing scheme is being developed under the auspices of The Punjab Journalist Housing Foundation.
The scheme will provide shelter to more than 1,000 journalists of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
