@nkemakonam89, since you’re in the real estate sector, I’d like to share an Easter egg about Bahria Town.
The land used for Bahria Town Karachi was allegedly taken by force from Sindhi farmers. According to word of mouth, Zardari, a prominent Pakistani politician, was involved in this acquisition. The area was originally designated as "green land," meaning it was legally reserved for farming and not for property development.
Bahria Town projects are spread across Pakistan and are owned by Malik Riaz. There are rumors that all these projects have dark histories, including allegations of land grabbing and even murders to acquire the land. Bahria Town Karachi, in particular, is located far from the main city. To attract people and popularize the area, they organize extravagant fireworks and build grand statues. Being wealthy and influential, they can make any project successful despite its drawbacks.
While these claims are based on word of mouth and widely circulated information, those in power, especially with significant media control, ensure that whistleblowers cannot easily speak out. Still, you can find plenty of dark stories online linking Bahria Town, Malik Riaz, and Zardari.
Wow ..the issue of land grabbing is also common here especially by the politicians. Once they have an eye over a particular property maybe due to its location, they take it without considering anything or anyone.
