An executive committee of Sector G-14 allottees in a meeting on Wednesday condemned the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority’s decision to postpone an operation against the land mafia.
They further warned to protest outside the prime minister’s office if the possession of the plots is not handed over to them.
The attendees were informed that over 3,000 government employees were allotted plots in Sector G-14 in 2004. However, the possession of this land was never given to the allottees as various groups supported by the land mafia asked for compensation against the possession of the land and carried out illegal construction on the land.
On October 12, the Senate Standing Committee on Housing and Works had expressed displeasure over the federal government authorities' failure to evacuate the land mafia from Sector G-14 and directed FGEHA and the Ministry of Housing and Works to take steps, on a priority basis, to handover the possession of the plots to the rightful allottees.
The allottees shared that Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan had announced a zero tolerance policy against land mafia, but no action has been taken so far to bring relief to them. They lamented that despite the PM’s vision of building five million houses during his tenure, people were deprived of possession to their own plots.
The executive committee met under its President Sardar Irshad while Vice President Abdul Hafeez Chaudhry, Secretary Munir Ahmad, Legal Advisor Advocate Mudassar Latif Abbasi and other committee members also attended the meeting.
