ISLAMABAD: Land grabbers and their agents are allegedly active in nine localities in the capital.
Talking to Dawn, police officers said land grabbers were actively operating in Bhara Kahu, Banigala, Koral, Loi Bher, Nilore, Sihala, Noon, Tarnol and Golra, disguising themselves as property dealers.
They have “well-equipped henchmen and goons” besides contacts in police and the revenue department, who assist them in pressuring landowners and identifying land and making forged documents, the officers said, adding land grabbers mostly work for housing societies and acquire land for housing projects either on cheaper rates or by force.
Forceful dispossession of large swaths of land by organised gangs using weapons is a practice. There are other factors that influence land grabbing, including increase in prices of the land, limited availability for expansion, arrival of migrants and settlers and non-digitisation of the revenue records.
