Karachi: JI demands action against land grabbing in KESC Housing Society - Naveed Yaseen - 10-06-2009 05:39 AM
KARACHI: The Jamaat-e-Islami on Monday demanded the Sindh chief minister to play his due role for an end to the land mafia’s illegal occupation of the KESC Society near Safoora Goth.
JI Karachi chief Mohammad Hussain Mehanti made this demand in a statement after a representative delegation of the society met JI office-bearers at the party’s Karachi office.
The delegates informed the JI office-bearers that the society was leased out since 1972. They said that the residents had proper legal documents and the Karachi Development Authority and the Cantonment Board had also approved this society.
They said land grabbers have grabbed the land of the society by use of force. They further said that the Cantonment Board’s officials had demolished the illegal walls erected in the society by land grabbers.
The KESC society residents complained that the police have taken no action against the culprits despite their complaints. They said that no case was registered so far because the police was under pressure from influential figures.
Mohammad Hussain Mehanti assured the delegation that he would contact the chief minister and asked him to play his due role to solve this problem.
