The municipal chief of the 2nd police district of Puli Khumri Din Mohammad Jurat and a female police officer confirmed that Mr. Mohsini has grabbed the land.
They also added that Mr. Mohsini has started construction work of a building on the plot of the land which has created hurdles on the movement of people as well as evacuation of the wounded civilians and military personnel to the hospital.
In the meantime, Jurat says the top government officials, including the provincial governor, security chief, mayor, and other senior officials cannot stand against Mr.Mohsini and are afraid of him.
