Nab Karachi Recovers 43 Acres Of Railway Land Worth Billions

On February 25, 2026, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Karachi announced a significant victory in the recovery of 43.11 acres of land belonging to Pakistan Railways, valued at Rs9.671 billion. This land, located in Deh Khanto Juma Goth, Karachi, had been encroached upon by private textile mills. The investigation into this matter began on July 13, 2019, but was temporarily halted due to a Supreme Court ruling. However, following a renewed request from Pakistan Railways in 2025, NAB resumed its inquiry, which revealed that the encroachment persisted despite earlier claims by Pakistan Railways that possession had been secured under court orders. NAB's investigation culminated in the successful retrieval of the land, reinforcing its role in combating illegal occupation of state property. As stated in the reports, "NAB Karachi reinforced its reputation as a frontline institution combating the illegal occupation of state property." (Profit Pakistan, 2026).
