Islamabad: Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has announced the addition of an exclusive category regarding land-grabbing complaints on Pakistan Citizens’ Portal (PCP) – which is being operated under his direct supervision to receive and pursue complaints on land grabbing, according to a news story published on April 7.
Reportedly, the PM announced that the federal government was resolved to curb land grabbing in the country in addition to improving overall public service delivery. This new category will facilitate the public to file their grievances regarding land grabbing and also blow the whistle on state land being illegally occupied. It was highlighted that complaints of overseas Pakistanis will be looked into on a priority basis.
Moreover, the prime minister has also ordered the launch of strict legal action as per law at various administrative tiers on provincial and federal levels. This development will also unveil the grey administrative areas regarding the issue. With the results generated from this category, the government will be able to get analytics for policy formulation, evaluate the performance, the efficiency of the officials and hold them responsible in case of negligence.
PM Khan has issued directives to ensure that the complaints on land grabbing are carefully examined. Special quarterly progress review meetings will be held on the status of complaints lodged in the category. For private matters, however, the prime minister said that both parties should be heard for properly probing the levelled allegations. Moreover, it was also announced that issues involving court cases will not be entertained at the portal, as per the provisions of PCP manual.
