OKARA, June 25: Tenants are cultivating the Punjab government’s lands and not that of Military Farms Administration as its lease expired in 1934.

This was stated by Punjab Anjuman-i-Mazareen President Chaudhry Abdul Jabbar in a press release issued here on Tuesday.

He said our forefathers used to cultivate MFA land under the Abad Kari scheme and we should be given proprietary in instalments.

He alleged the MFA had been doing excesses with the tenants for the last two years, adding a number of false cases had been registered against them.
