I had first applied to Mian Shahbaz Sharif Chief Minister on September 30, 1997 and subsequently wrote letters/applications to Chief Minister Punjab and Secretary LG CD Civil Secretariat Lahore and even visited Civil Secretariat Lahore on various occasions. In 2001 and in 2009 the Department LG CD had conducted detailed enquiries but despite a lapse of about 14 long years no action had been initiated against law breaking landowners/sponsors of illegal/unapproved housing schemes. Chief Minister is requested to initiate enquiry against delinquent LG CD officials / TMA Khan Pur officials who had provided undue facility to lawbreaking land owners/ sponsor.
