OKARA, May 14: Law enforcers and tenants in 11/4-L scuffled with each other at the under construction check posts and the tenants forced the law enforcers to retreat. The personals of law enforcing agencies went to 11/4-L with bulldozers to construct check points but dozens of men and women tenants blocked their way, scuffled with them and forced them to go back.

Tenant leader Abdul Sattar Chaman said the tenants were provoked when law-enforcers stopped women from going to fields and they rushed to rescue their women.

Law enforcers want to construct check points in four villages around the controversial land and tenants see it a bid to occupy their land.

IMRAN KHAN: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf Chief Imran Khan will arrive in Okara on Wednesday to the District Bar Association.
