KARACHI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 11th Oct, 2021 ) :Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly, Haleem Adil Sheikh on Monday asked Chief Secretary Sindh to initiate action against land grabbing in Karachi to save state land from squatters.
According to a statement issued here, Haleem Adil Sheikh, through a letter addressing the CS Sindh, has pointed out land grabbing at a large scale in East and West districts of Karachi in connivance with Revenue and Police officials and demanded inquiry into the matter as well.

In the past one year land grabbing in scheme-33 was continued due to lack of supervision of Revenue and Police officials, he alleged.
