October 16, 2026 • 2 hours ago •

LAHORE: A committee probing land acquisition payments in LDA City has identified 24 payment vouchers that have raised concerns due to irregularities, as confirmed by Lahore Development Authority (LDA) Director General Tahir Farooq. The investigation was initiated following media reports alleging corruption in the land payment processes.

The four-member committee, formed by DG Farooq, has summoned relevant officers and patwaris to provide their statements regarding the flagged vouchers. This move underscores the LDA’s commitment to transparency and accountability in its financial dealings.

The implications of this investigation are significant for the citizens of Lahore, as it highlights ongoing issues of corruption within public institutions that can undermine trust in government operations. The findings may lead to broader scrutiny of land acquisition practices across the region, potentially impacting future development projects.

As the committee continues its investigation, further meetings are expected to take place to gather more evidence and testimonies. The LDA aims to resolve these issues promptly to restore public confidence in its operations and ensure that land acquisition processes are conducted fairly and transparently.
