An alleged attempt to extract and sell soil from government agricultural land allotted under the Temporary Cultivation Scheme was foiled by the administration in district Kasur. Following reports of illegal activity, the Assistant Commissioner reached the site and took immediate action by taking an excavator and tractor trolleys into official custody.
According to the administration, unauthorized excavation and sale of soil from government land falls under misuse of public property and violation of land management regulations, prompting immediate enforcement action.
Sources stated that orders have also been issued to register an FIR against the contractor involved and initiate further legal proceedings to ensure the protection of government land and agricultural resources.
Officials said that land allotted under the Temporary Cultivation Scheme is designated strictly for agricultural purposes and approved use, while extraction of soil or other natural resources requires proper authorization from the relevant departments.
The administration has made it clear that strict action will continue against illegal excavation, misuse of government land, or unauthorized extraction of resources from public property.
The operation is being viewed as an important step toward protection of government land, transparent land management, and responsible use of agricultural resources in the district.
