Officials told to explain Nankana encroachments
The Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) has issued show-cause notices to three officers over their alleged failure to prevent encroachments and unauthorised construction on trust properties in Nankana Sahib. The action came over findings presented in a report prepared following a visit to Nankana Sahib by the ETPB secretary under directives of a commission established on the orders of the Supreme Court. The report highlighted widespread encroachments and unauthorised structures on ETPB properties found over the past six months with photographic evidence. The officers served notices are Deputy Administrators Adnan Ahmad Hassan and Ejaz Ahmad, and Security Supervisor Arsalan Naeem. According to the report, the officials had failed to fulfill their core administrative responsibilities of safeguarding trust properties from encroachment and illegal occupation. It noted that the officers had neither identified the encroachments in time nor taken effective action to prevent or remove them. After reviewing the report, the ETPB chairman concluded that disciplinary action could be taken under the Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 2020. The possible punishments include dismissal from service. The officers have been directed to submit a written explanation within 10 days, justifying why disciplinary action should not be taken against them. They have also been given the option to appear in person to present their defence. Failure to respond within the stipulated time may result in ex parte proceedings. The show-cause notices were issued by ETPB Secretary Fareed Iqbal with the approval of the chairman.
