A report sought by the authorities over illegal occupation of government land has not been submitted despite the passage of seven months.
According to sources, the additional deputy commissioner revenue has again demanded details regarding 16 government residential quarters of the former ‘Tosha Khana’.
It was alleged that some serving and retired government employees were involved in the illegal occupation of government land.
However, the ADCR said that despite the passage of seven months, the AC concerned had not submitted the report.
The sources said the Bahawalpur division commissioner had ordered the report over suspicion that some employees of the food department had occupied the government land.
It had been reported to the commissioner that 16 government quarters had been demolished to build private houses and the rent for the quarters had not been paid for the past 30 years.
The commissioner said sought the report within seven days.
However, after awaiting the report for seven months, the ADCR has issued a letter seeking the report as soon as possible.
