KARACHI: The citizens of the metropolis were once again deceived by builders’ mafia which sold out land belonging to Board of Revenue to the people in Karachi, ARY News reported on Thursday.

Board of Revenue officials carried out an anti-encroachment operation to retrieved its land in Ahsanabad Sector 3 and Gulshan-e-Brohi, where hundreds of houses were razed today.

The operation resulted in strong protests of the residents as women surrounded the debris of houses and announced not to vacate the location. The residents told media that their houses were turned into rubble without giving any notice prior to the action.

Earlier on May 15, an anti-encroachment operation had been launched in Gulshan block-13 for restoration of the Karachi Circular Railway (KCR).

The Supreme Court had ordered the authorities to remove encroachments and illegal structures from the route of the KCR within a month.

The anti-encroachment cell personnel had launched the drive from Urdu College railway station and started removing 300 huts and concrete structures made on the track.

The city authorities in the previous phase of the drive against encroachments had cleared 7.2 kilometres of the railway track in district central of Karachi.

Often times these government agencies are in cahoots with the land mafia to steal government land. Then the land mafia will ask the government agency to take back their land, which is again given to the land mafia for a hefty bribe who again sell it to the people, and the process is repeated. Basically the land mafia keeps making money on selling the same piece of land again and again without having to buy it.

encroachment on railway tracks, nalas, public spaces, government land etc and then we ask why Karachi is being turned in to shanty town. But then even Islamabad isn't save from land grabbers.

Wait for the so-called political parties to jump in to hijack to sentiments and sell their churan

There have been no mechanism introduced by the government to compensate these people. They were first tricked by previous governments and now are being sidelined by the current government.

It is tyranny that the most helpless of the state face the most lethal of the states machinery.

there was a law passed by sindh court earlier that once even if its illegal portion or house made and people start living in those. it will not be demolished so ppl started building illegally over night and start living in it. thats how karachi been destroyed. enjoy over crowded areas.
