No wonder that such large organizations are facing these circumstances as country is in the troubled situation.Now need is to taken steps against these encroachments that can reduce incidents like this.All authorities should have to be active to stop illegal occupations nationwide.
Now illegal occupation became the routine activity by land mafia but PTCL has taken a significant step to cease land mafia intentions.But it is quite and unbearable that no action has been taken by authorities after lodging complaint by PTCL.
