In another case of violation, the 25-acre Deh Bitti Amri, situated in the suburbs at Super Highway approximately 20 kilometres away from the centre of the city, has been encroached upon by the land mafia. Authorities from the City District Government Karachi put up a boundary around the plot to protect it, but the mafia still has possession of 20 acres of the land
