Land mafia

Published

LAKKI city is the tehsil headquarters of Lakki Marwat. Yet it has fallen victim to the land mafia and drug barons.

These thugs and their kin are intrinsically connected with powerful people.

Law-abiding citizens like myself are scared whereas these thugs, criminals and their loved ones move around.

The chief minister and police chief of the province should take notice of the situation.
