Land grabbing mafia goes unchecked in Sector G-14 - Lahore_Real_Estate - 11-23-2011 01:19 PM
Islamabad—The encroachments by land mafia in G-14 are still continuing as apparently no tangible measures have been taken to stop illegal constructions in the area despite ban under Section 144.
It is feared that the genuine people affected in the process would be deprived of their due compensation and allottees of the plots in the sector would suffer due to delay in development work and handing over possession of plots to them.
It seems that the land mafia is active in all three sub- sectors of G-14 and has been constructing dummy houses with cement blocks and factory prepared roofs to include them in the survey list of build-up property compensation.
According to reports, the Federal Government Employees Housing Foundation (FGEHF) in 2003 had announced allotment of Sector G-14’s sub sectors 1, 2 and 3 for the different categories of government officers and other segments through balloting.
After receiving applications, almost 8,000 applicants were allotted plots in three sub-sectors and it was expected that within three to four years development of the sector will be completed and possession of the plots will be handed over to the allottees.
The administration at that time had put off the matter of built-up property compensation pending due to which now the mafia got a chance to make money through dummy buildup properties.
