Traders seek ownership

Published December 25, 2006

LAHORE, Dec 24; The Lahore Anjuman Tajraan in Township has urged Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi to grant ownership rights to 24,000 allotment holders of plots in the Lahore Township Scheme.

In a statement on Sunday, Anjuman President Chaudhry Khalid Meo and Secretary-General Chaudhry Akbar Gujjar said that squatters were being given ownership rights in katchi abadis while Kot Lakhpat residents living in houses built on the plots allotted to them had not been given ownership rights for the past 40 years.

The chief minister should take note of injustice and order transfer of ownership rights to them, they said. — Reporter
