Wasim Tahir of Chak 159 submitted a plea to the ADCR that Jhang Tehsil AC had awarded a tender of 12-acre state land to local farmers on very low rates as Rs 11,000 per acre by rejecting his application. Wasim said he was the previous tender holder of the land. The ADCR checked the record and cancelled the tender and directed the AC to re-auction the tender of the state land by following the BOR directions.
