THATTA, Oct 21: The EDO (revenue) on the recommendations of a record scanning-cum-inquiry team of the Board of Revenue, Sindh, has cancelled suspicious “khatas” (ownership deeds) of 2,015 acres of agricultural land in deh Kohistan 1/7 of tapo Jhampir.

The team, constituted under the directives of the senior member of Board of Revenue, Anwar Hyder, declared over 100,000 acres of agricultural land allotted within a stretch of 32 kilometres on both sides of Super Highway as “suspicious allotment” made through a racket in connivance with revenue officials and asked for its cancellation.

The EDO told a news conference that so far he had issued notices to some 308 khatedars of deh Kohistan who owned 100,800 acres of land asking them to appear along with their original documents and record their statement about the ownership of these “fictitious” khatas.
