LAHORE:The district administration Lahore on Sunday retrieved 38 kanals of state land worth over Rs1 billion allegedly illegally occupied by PML-N’s Khokhar brothers for the past many years.
Sources said that the administration launched an anti-encroachment operation near Expo Centre and recovered the government land from illegal occupation. The value of the retrieved land was estimated at around Rs1.5 billion.
The Khokhar brothers had fraudulently encroached upon the land and were served notices prior to the operation, the sources said.
