State land worth Rs15m retrieved

FAISALABAD  -  Assistant Commissioner (AC) Tandlianwala Rana Aurangzaib retrieved state land worth Rs.15 million from squatters in Ma­monkanjan. 

A spokesman to local adminis­tration said here on Sunday that the land grabbers illegally oc­cupied the state land two years ago and constructed shops on it. When the district administra­tion issued warning, the Qabza mafia obtained stay-order from the court. 

Now the competent court of law abolished the stay-order after which AC Tandlianwala Rana Aurangzaib along with his team removed all kinds of illegal structures erected on land by the mafia. The heavy machin­ery was used during this opera­tion and the retrieved land was handed over to the revenue de­partment for its further use in a public welfare and betterment scheme, he added.
