Hi everyone, I need some legal and practical advice regarding neighborhood issues. How do you deal with individuals asking for forced payments from residents?
In our residential area (Garden View Society behind rabia city), a group of 2-3 people have self-proclaimed themselves as society representatives. They have no registered proofs, official documents, or government authority, yet they are forcing residents to pay up to 6,000 PKR. If anyone refuses, they try to restrict access to the gates.
Ours is an all-female household, so dealing with this intimidation is extremely stressful. In this era of inflation, we simply cannot afford these forced, un-audited demands.
Has anyone successfully dealt with a similar situation in Karachi? What is the proper legal channel to stop this without putting our family at risk? Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
