Naya Nazimabad

Javedan Corporation, doing business as Naya Nazimabad (Urdu: نیا ناظم آباد), is a housing project that is being developed, built around the Manghopir Lake.[1]

A couple years back, the heavy rain in Karachi caused some blocks of the housing project to be flooded because of inadequate sewage and water disposal lines, however the management has now taken adequate measures to prevent a similar situation in the future. 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.
