KARACHI, April 27: The land mafia has caused losses of billions of rupees to the Sindh government by occupying hundreds of acres in Karachi. However, the government is determined to restore its grabbed land and no pressure will be accepted to stop the ongoing operation against the land mafia.

These views were expressed by Sindh Revenue Minister Dr Irfan Gul Magsi, while talking to a group of media men in his office.

He pointed out that around 700 acres had been restored in Keamari Town where the operation was in progress against land-grabbers.

The minister said that in Scheme 33, the land mafia had occupied 957 acres through forged documents. He said action would also be initiated against those government functionaries involved in the forgery.
