Sindh govt decides action against land mafia - Naveed Yaseen - 05-16-2009 07:02 AM
Sindh Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Muhammad Ayaz Soomro has said that the Sindh government has decided to take action against the land mafia in the province besides vowing to end encroachments.
This he said while presiding over a meeting of officials of the law department here on Friday. The government has finalised its strategy to take action against the land mafia across the province including Karachi. He said that evidences of grabbing land by some influential groups were being collected.
“The report will be forwarded to the President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari and later action will be taken against those involved in it and those supporting them”, he added. Soomro further said that land allotted to the people should be utilised for only the purpose it was given for, adding the government had the right to cancel its lease if the land was not used for the desired purpose.
The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) govt is also investigating about the government land worth millions of rupees, which was allotted on favouritism basis.
