The project ILD Arete was launched in 2013 and now in 2020 it is only 60% Complete.

ILD’s another project, namely ILD Greens, was launched in 2008. One of the homebuyers who bought flat in this project said the possession was supposed to be offered in October 2016 by Builder, eight years after booking. Almost Four Years have passed and only half of the towers are complete. Residents are not having permanent electricity, water & sewer connections.

District town planner (DTP) RS Batth directed the builder to finish the application works for necessities and complete the formalities to hand over basic amenities to the RWA. He has directed his team to inspect both the project sites thoroughly and check the construction status.
