Update:
There is some hope now for having natural gas supply in A Block.
On Sunday, February 5, first meeting of Media Town residents was held at society's office. More than 30 residents and those who are constructing their houses attended. The residents discussed their problems with the office bearers. It was decided that each resident or under-construction house will pay 1,000 rupees per month as service charges for water supply, garbage collection and security. The Media Town has been providing water free of cost since 2010 from the money raised through possession fees and from its own resources.
It was decided to construct a mouse in the society, organise garbage collection, launch efforts for the completion of Sui Gas scheme in A block left incomplete by SNGPL. The residents were also briefed about the financial situation and ongoing efforts to set up a school in the locality in partnership with the private sector.
So far their are 85 houses in total being built or inhibited by journalists. It was suggested that a deadline should be fixed for possession of plots and hold regular monthly meetings on the first Sunday of every month at society office.
Media Town is a residential project of Rawalpindi-Islamabad Press Club situated adjacent to Police Foundation and Bahria Town in Loi Bher, Rawalpindi/Islamabad. The society has all basic facilities like water, electricity and gas. Only A block is without gas so far and the work is progress to complete the Sui Gas supply lines on urgent basis.
