Everyday tales of grievance are witnessed at the LDA office and today’s story was of Muhammad Ilyas who was running from pillar to post to get his plot back, which was canceled after more than 20 years due to unknown reasons.
The scribe found M Ilyas, a resident of Chah Miran who was a salesman in a local cosmetic company, crying outside the office of LDA DG/Commissioner Lahore M Ali Randhawa.
He was holding a big plastic bag full of different documents and was trying to convince the DG’s staff that he was an aggrieved person and wanted to meet the DG but was told that the LDA DG was not present in his office and most of the time he used to sit at the office of Commissioner Lahore.
While talking to the scribe, Ilyas lost his control and started crying very hard and told that his father Mushtaq Ahmed got a plot (514-N) in Sabzaar Housing Scheme from the LDA under exemption rules in 1992.
“The 10 marla plot was transferred to my father under letter number 52R/JN/529/21387 dated 9/9/2003,” he said and maintained that on 29/6/2020, the LDA canceled the above-mentioned transfer order and was allotted to someone else who constructed a house there and sold it.
The poor man, who has no political background or any other strong connection, lodged various applications in LDA but none of the officers concerned listened to him.
