Mehran Town

Mehran Town (Urdu: مہران ٹاؤن) is located in Korangi Industrial Area in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

The locality has a mixed ethnic culture, where communities speaking Urdu, Sindhi, Pushto, Saraiki and Hindko co-exist.

Payments were made in advance but basic utilities including water, electricity and gas were not provided in the housing project by KDA.

Eventually, large areas of Mehran Town were encroached on and illegally possessed by land grabbers with the support from local politicians.

Land mafia has dug up earth from empty plots, leaving behind huge pits which now turns into a massive pools of wastewater during rainy season.

Local politicians have also been accused of collusion where in sector 6-C a majority of the plots are said to have been encroached by land grabbers supported by the former government of Pakistan People Party.
