Vishal Rambani

CHANDIGARH: Punjab rural development and panchayat department has only been able to free 585 acres of illegally occupied panchayat land in 2024 against a target of 10,000 acres, officials, who didn't wish to be identified, said. As per sources, over 90,000 acres of panchayat land is still in possession of land mafia in the state. The official added that back-to-back elections, including Lok Sabha, panchayat, assembly by-polls and recent civic body elections, have hampered the drive. Launched in May 2022, a total of 12,809 acres has been freed of illegal encroachments and handed over to panchayats till 2024.
