FGEHA Accused of Hiding 100+ Illegal Entries in Sector G-14

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) is allegedly trying to hide over a hundred illegal entries in Sector G-14 and is reluctant to take responsibility for its own officers’ fraud.

According to sources, the FGEHA has declined to provide promised plots as compensation to land affectees, citing that it goes against policy.

However, the FGEHA has yet to take action against its officer who committed the fraud.

The Built-Up Property (BUP) award is an evaluation of houses present on a particular piece of land at the time of its acquisition.

Furthermore, the acquiring authority pays compensation and rehabilitation benefits based on their policy. FGEHA is avoiding sending the case to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to avoid any backlash.

Local landowners, who received provisional allotment letters from the FGEHA, sold their plots to third parties.

FGEHA never declared multiple entries as ‘illegal’ or ‘bogus.’

FGEHA declined to issue allotment letters to those families with multiple entries in the BUP’s award by citing that it goes against their policies.

Director Land FGEHA, Ihsan Elahi, stated that some local landowners managed multiple entries on the names of their children to get more plots, but in reality, they were living in the same house.

Elahi acknowledged that multiple entries are illegal and cannot be allotted multiple plots.

Director General Housing Foundation Tariq Rasheed admitted that provisional allotment letters were issued illegally, but he believes that the matter does not require investigation.

Local landowners and third parties who have been waiting for their benefits for over a decade are demanding that the FIA investigate the matter to hold officers accountable if they made bogus entries and issued allotment letters.
