Chunian: [Sadaf Arshad District Coordinator ReNews Pakistan]
The anti encroachment operation in Chunian has intensified, with para force teams carrying out actions in different neighborhoods. During the operation, sheds attached to houses and other structures are being demolished, raising concerns among residents.
Locals state that some of the removed structures were not causing any obstruction to public pathways, yet were still targeted, creating difficulties for affected families. Residents have also highlighted a lack of clear and consistent criteria in the enforcement process.
The administration maintains that the operation is being conducted under legal provisions and strict supervision to eliminate encroachments and improve public access.
Citizens have called for greater transparency and fairness, urging authorities to take action only against structures that genuinely obstruct movement.
The situation reflects the need for balanced enforcement to ensure urban order while maintaining public trust.

The schedule for the revenue officers visit program has been officially released to address public issues at the grassroots level. Under this initiative, mobile courts in the form of open public forums (khuli kachehri) will be established at the tehsil and qanungoi levels.
Assistant Commissioners, Tehsildars, and other revenue officers have been directed to hold daily open courts at different locations within their respective tehsils. These sessions will provide citizens with direct access to submit applications and resolve revenue related matters efficiently.
Under the PLRA program, citizens will also be able to file applications for land mutation and partition. Revenue officers will conduct on site proceedings within the concerned circles and facilitate decisions regarding land division through public hearings.
This initiative is expected to improve service delivery, ensure transparency, and provide timely resolution of public grievances related to revenue matters.
