The area around education city is going to be repossed by the government for the Education City. The woners in this area know this. My friend who lives & owns a land in this area told me this info about 1 year ago.

Had it been in another area I would agree with you, but because of the area involved I think my explanation is correct.

This is due to the Contractor's mistake. There are sooooomany examples. One more recent example is the Gulf time photo of the settlement of Salwa Road even before it was properly commissioned.

To say a road "settled" is equavalent to a building falling.

When there is a building on the land the owners will get a bigger compensation from the government than when the land is just empty. So this is a way some owners of land devised to get more money. Not so strange when you know how people are greedy!
