NAB Recovers Pakistan Railways Land in Jhelum Worth Rs 21.85 Billion

NAB Pakistan Railways land recovered in Jhelum is estimated at Rs 21.85 billion. The property covers 1,844 kanals and 16 marlas across Jhelum and Dina tehsils.

In this article we set out the size, the value and the reason given for the recovery. Here is everything you need to know.

What the NAB Pakistan Railways land recovery includes

The land belongs to Pakistan Railways and sits in Jhelum. NAB's recovery is described as a move to protect public assets and to address illegal occupation of government land. The value is an estimate, Rs 21.85 billion, not a sale price.

The report does not name the occupants, and it does not say whether any case in court is still open.

Why it matters

Railway land is often occupied in small pieces that add up. Here the total is given in one figure: 1,844 kanals and 16 marlas, across two tehsils, with an estimated value of Rs 21.85 billion.

• The agency is NAB
• The owner of the land is Pakistan Railways
• The value given is an estimated Rs 21.85 billion
• The area is 1,844 kanals and 16 marlas
• The tehsils are Jhelum and Dina
• Illegal occupation of government land is the problem named

What is not in this account

1. Who was occupying the land.
2. How long the occupation lasted.
3. Whether the land is now fenced or back in railway use.
4. Any criminal case number.

What happens next

A note on what Pakistan Railways will do with the land would show whether recovery means use, not only a change of paperwork. We will update this article if that plan is published.
