INJUSTICE WITH  BAHRIA TOWN ALLOTTEES 

Unlike any other developer in pakistan or precisely karachi, Bahria town karachi has always fulfilled and understood the needs of its customers and has emphasised to detail and quality. But unfortunately, over the past year bahria town customers are having a difficult time being loyal to bahria town’s planning and philosophy.  Bahria Town Karachi has been in trouble since 2016 when,acquired from MDA through suspicious transactions. 

1. The Supreme Court took up the case of its land a(https://manahilestate.com/bahria-town-karachi-illegal-land-settlement-supreme-court/) 2, Bahria town forcefully demanded members to take possessions of their ready properties.  3. Now they have imposed 35% development charges on projects of 2013. 

This caused a serious outrage amongst the customers and they were provoked to take serious actions against bahria’s new policy.

SERIOUS REACTION FROM PEOPLE:

After the announcement of the new plan, people were extremely outraged.They were concerned because the country’s economy is already facing a downfall and here malik riaz imposed a decision that would have caused more harm.

 Also. people were angry because they had paid these charges while buying the property in 2013 and they didn't want to pay them again. So, they refused to pay the 35% development charges strictly and marched towards Bahria town to record their protest. 

The protest got really serious and people started shattering windows and doors of the head office. Police were called to handle the uproar. And the protest was called off.
