Pakistan is a fail state in Asia. Overseas run Pakistan but what they get in return? Land records isn’t online. You people leave overseas to face cases and suffer their Properties in courts? Fraud, fraud and fraud. Where they see empty plots, land mafias introduce new property file and sell it to new owners. Overseas Lands and properties aren’t safe in Karachi or else where in Pakistan.
