Land grabbing victims get alternative plots after 30 years

Unable to evict encroachers the city government gave alternative plots to the victims of land grabbing in Baldia Town. It took two generations to receive their rightful patch of 80 square yards of land after 30 long years.

Mayor Murtaza Wahab addressing at the occasion said PPP was committed to providing shelter for citizens and does not intend to deprive anyone of roofs on their heads.

Simultaneously, he said, a robust campaign against encroachments is actively underway, particularly targeting areas where such issues have persisted in the past, with plans for their elimination.

Wahab said that post-February, PPP aims to hold key positions like the prime minister, chief minister, and mayor, promising citizens their property rights and addressing any lingering issues. Noting that 166 plots of 80 sq-yds have already been allocated to owners of over 400 illegally occupied plots in Baldia Town Sector 13, Wahab commended the KMC’s land department for providing alternative lands to these victims.
