Unable to find plots in the on-paper allocated area, the affected people demanded action against the Oil and Gas Development Corporation (OGDC) Employees Cooperative House Society (ECHS) officials on Thursday.
Around one thousand people from various walks of life had invested in purchasing various residential plots in the OGDC- ECHS and had submitted their dues during 2004-2006 in installments to acquire plots. However, the victims told Pakistan Today that they could not find their plots in the allocated areas and demanded refund of their money.
We were intimated by society officials in a meeting in 2009 that, “members who have been allotted plots in Block-E will be given plots or adjusted in other nearby places where the society has already purchased some land,” adding that “E-Block is currently finished,” they said. They said they had approached and submitted applications to the OGDC Housing Society (Regd. No 261, Islamabad) to re-locate their plots around five years ago for which they had already paid a huge amount in the open market.
