This land is mine

The Sindh Government Employees Co-operative Housing Society that was established for the employees of different Sindh government departments has been encroached upon by the land mafia. The society, which is located in Gulshan-e-Mehran, Sector 4, Scheme 33, was established in 1970 – some 38 years ago. Employees who were working in various government institutions were given membership and were allotted plots for which the employees had to make some payments.

The rightful owners of the plots have been fighting for the possession of the plots for more than 38 years. My late father was one of the employees who were allotted the plot. I am fighting for the rights on his behalf. Despite the fact that my father was a government employee, we have been deprived of the plot and have been compelled to live in a house on rent. Although the journey is tiring and humiliating, I will not give up. I have full faith in the justice system and the law and order department of the country. I believe that the chief justice of Pakistan will listen to my pleas and will take immediate action to resolve this problem.
