KHUSHAB:
The land mafia in Khushab continues to occupy the district’s archaeological sites, places of worship, houses and local cemeteries of Sikh and Hindu communities who left the region at the time of the partition of the subcontinent.
Land grabbers have also occupied the lands of the Evacuee Trust Property Board, Hindu Auqaf, Railway Department and District Council.
The land mafia was active in destroying historical monuments. Sher Shah Suri undertook the construction of mosques, inns and other construction works in the area, which made Khushab famous for its historical significance.
