“To facilitate the public at large, the Prime Minister during live telephonic interaction held on 4 April, 2021 had been pleased to announce the provision of an exclusive category on PCP for lodging complaints pertaining to land grabbing/Qabza Mafia”, the statement read.
The statement further added that the complaints referring to the issues that involve court cases shall not be entertained as per provisions of the PCP-Manual.
“Complaints of overseas Pakistanis shall be looked into as a PRIORITY”, it added.
The introduction of new category will facilitate the public in not only lodging complaints but will also blow the whistle on the state land being encroached upon or grabbed by the mafia.
Additionally, the prime minister has also directed that all chief secretaries shall hold meetings with heads of the concerned departments, development authorities, commissioners, RPOs, DCs, and DPOs in order to sensitize them about significance of the matter and complaints related thereto.
