After Nasla Tower, 16 Malir real estate scam projects unearthed

By Muhammad JuniadPublished On 06 Jan 2023

The records of 40 acres of government land in Malir have been forged, according to the Deputy Commissioner. That land has been appropriated by builders who have now started or completed 16 housing projects in the area.

The land records were changed in 1998 and construction on the new projects took place recently in Deh Mehran. The DC sent the list to the secretary of the Land Utilisation Department. People are being invited to invest in these apartments and put down money for bookings. But they are built on illegally acquired government land.

A senior Board of Revenue official, Shams Soomro, expressed anger when SAMAA TV contacted him about the case. He said that the DC Malir does not have the power to point out such projects. Soomro has previously held the post of Sindh Building Control Authority director-general.

The sixteen projects are:

• Saima Jinnah Icon on 3 acres (60% completed)
• Shayan Grand Residency on 1 acre (70% completed)
• Fariha Excellency on 2 acres (90% constructed)
• Shanzil Extension on 1 acre (Completed)
• Shanzil Golf Residency on 2 acres (75% completed)
• Falaz Naz Dynasty on 1.3 acres (Completed)
• Metro Polis on 2.2 acres (70% completed)
• Fatima Golf Residency on 2.2 acres (70% completed)
• Sidra Twin Tower on 3 acres (50% completed)
• Al Rehman Residency on 2 acres (95% completed)

• Ibrahim Heaven on 1 acre (80% completed)
