ISLAMABAD: A scam has been unearthed where the management of Sawan Gardens Housing Society (Civilian Employees Cooperative Housing Society) had allotted the plots worth of billions rupees illegally in connivance with the district administration of Islamabad.

By this illicit allotment many deserving people were deprived of fulfilling their dream of their own house. After the revelation of the multi-billion scandal , the government has fired the President and General Secretary of the society from their posts.

In November 2015, the President, Ansar Gondal, and General Secretary, Yasir Mehndi, had distributed at least 50 plots among their blue-eyed persons. In this dirty game of corruption the backing Deputy Commissioner and Circle Registrar Islamabad were with the culprits.

The Deputy Commissioner Islamabad not only kept quiet on the issue but he also provided an opportunity to corrupt elements to play the havoc with the future of poor civil servants openly.

Initially the administration of the society had exceeded their authorised limits and clandestinely transferred 50 plots.

They also presented precious gifts to the Deputy Commissioner and Circle Registrar to give the legal cover to their misdeeds .

According to the law the approval of the concerned government officials and the CDA was a must for the allotment of the plots but the President and the General Secretary of the Housing Society did not consider it necessary gaining permission of the civic body and allotted these plots in sheer violation of the master plan of the society.

When the scam surfaced, the Circle Registrar had sought the report from the administration but it could not provide the details of the unlawful allotment. On which he prevented the further allotment in Sawan Gardens Society. The Daily Times has got documentary evidence that shows that AC Rural, Jawad Muzzafar, was appointed as the administrator of the society on November 5 2016 so that a probe could be carried out and the responsible persons could be brought to justice.

The new administrator had taken all the record into official custody and stopped further allotment till further orders.

The documents also reveal that of some six plots were made to the friends and relatives of the former office bearers of the society.
