An octogenarian identified as Maqsood Hussain, hailing from Mustafa Abad Lahore, has succeeded in getting possession of his residential plot after 35 years due to the involvement of the office of the ombudsman Punjab.
The Ombudsman Office spokesman in a statement issued here on Wednesday said that the applicant Maqsood Hussain approached the ombudsman office stating that he has deposited all the instalments of his five Marla plot number 480-E in Tajpura Housing Scheme, Lahore which was allotted to him in 1987 by the LDA. However, he was still unable to get possession of the plot despite numerous applications submitted to LDA for the same, the applicant stated.
Taking notice of it, the ombudsman’s office directed the concerned LDA staff to give possession of the plot to the applicant within 15 days and a compliance report should also be submitted to the ombudsman’s office.
In the light of the instructions, the LDA has handed over the possession of the five Marla plot to the applicant Maqsood Hussain and submitted a compliance report to the ombudsman’s office.
The applicant has thanked the Ombudsman Punjab Maj (R) Azam Suleman Khan for the timely redressal of his complaint, the spokesman concluded.
