LAHORE: On the direction of Punjab Ombudsman retired Maj Azam Suleman Khan, a public path measuring 58261.6 square feet (10 kanals 14 marlas) has been retrieved from illegal occupants in the village of Kamalia tehsil of Toba Tek Singh.
The regained land was valued at Rs5 million.
One Naubahar Ranjha, a resident of Toba Tek Singh, approached the ombudsman office that some people have illegally occupied the teeming pathway in his village, making it difficult for the locals to pass through.
The route should be retrieved from the occupiers so that the daily problems of villagers could be alleviated, he requested. A report by Toba Tek Singh Advisor also confirmed the spot being occupied by intrusive squatters.
Khan directed Kamalia assistant commissioner to recover the passage and submit a compliance report to his office. Following the direction, the official restored the passage by evicting the squatters.
