Residents of some blocks claimed that they had difficulties once the flooding began that remained for over a week. However, allegedly some media houses blew the actual problem out of proportion.[2]The land was given initially for mining to the Javedan corporation for a mining lease only. Later, Arif Habib Ghani and Aqeel Karim Dhedhi, a business cartel, bought it with the help of government authorities for a fair price and launched a housing project.Total Area[edit]The total area of Naya Nazimabad is 1,300 acres.[3]Master Plan[edit]  Naya Nazimabad Master PlanLocation[edit]Distances from various areas are mentioned below:[4]Distance BoardSakhi Hasan2.00\u00a0kmWater Pump5.00\u00a0kmHyderi Market5.00\u00a0kmNIPA Chowrangi8.00\u00a0kmCivic Center11.00\u00a0kmNaya Nazimabad was sold to general public at the rate of Rs 6,300 per yard, its worth Rs 60,000 by October 2019, resulting in net wealth generation of Rs 95 bn.[5]Demography[edit]Naya Nazimabad Project is towards it completion accompanied with completion of all odds which are emerging time to time.

The new owners almost immediately stopped production, dismantled the cement factory and converted the 1,300 acres JCL land into a housing project worth over Rs. 100 billion ($1 billion). Experts believe the cost of total JCL land including mining land could easily cross Rs. 200 billion ($2 billion).[7] The developers of Naya Nazimabad project includes owner of Arif Habib Equity. According to experts, the closing of Javedan Cement and establishment of Naya Nazimabad will cost Pakistan government $ 6 million annually.[8]Land was given initially for mining to the Javedan corporation for a mining lease only.

These chemicals are hazardous substances which could harm human health and\/or the environment.[11] A study commissioned on the directives of the Supreme Court of Pakistan has found that the populations residing in Gadap Town and nearby areas may be affected by chemicals as it is air-borne.[12][13][14]Shunaid Qureshi, developer of Naya Nazimabad, CEO Al Abbas Sugar Mills and former Chairman of Pakistan Sugar Mills Association (PASMA) was arrested in January 2014.[15] Shunaid Qureshi is a son of Hum TV director Sultana Siddiqui, nephew of businessman Jahangir Siddiqui, brother-in-law of Television producer Momina Duraid and the cousin of actor Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui.
