By Irfan Aligi

City District Government Karachi’s Revenue Department has recovered land of around 900 acres worth billions of rupees from the land mafia’s possession.

The anti-encroachment operation was launched in Gadap Town with a police contingent, 20 police vans and six Revenue Department vans carrying around 200 personnel including officers.

The operation was conducted against 14 residential schemes that were bogus, as the land mafia had demarcated land against each residential scheme and plots were also identified.
