Moreover, the planning and development department has informed the World Bank about the substandard work in Sindh’s CLICK project.
It is pertinent to mention here that last year massive corruption and irregularities were unearthed in the sale of expensive KMC in Karachi’s Baldia West in which 4-acre land was sold via ‘fake challan’.
The irregularities were unearthed in the sale of KMC land in Orangi’s Gulshan-e-Zia. The four-acre land of a workshop and nursery was sold via fake challan with the nexus of a project director.
Sources told ARY News that the land was used to bury the offal and waste of animals from 2004 to 2016. The land came under the administration of KMC Baldia West section after the enforcement of the Town Municipal system in 2002.
The market value of the said KMC land is more than Rs1 billion which was allegedly sold at extremely low prices via fake challan with the nexus of a project director.
