Pakistan’s national exchequer suffered heavy losses up to the tune of Rs20.2 billion during the last 20 years in a massive land encroachment scam in the federal capital, Geo News reported on Saturday.
According to the channel, it has emerged that Islamabad is no exception to ‘China-cutting’, encroachment and illegal trade of government lands, as Capital Development Authority (CDA) is said to have sold 4,000 plots on throw-away prices to its own employees.
According to the report, during the course of illegal business, public parks, green belts, mosques and lands allocated for hospital were also encroached and sold illegally.
