About 50 years ago, the banks of river Indus in the Punjab were lush with green forests. But as the river started to dry up due to several reasons, those trees started disappearing. The land over which those trees had stood, completely bare by now, has been occupied by squatters who are making millions of rupees without giving anything to the government, the rightful owner. Thousands of acres of such land lying on the eastern fringes of mauza Lundi Pitafi and the adjoining villages in district Muzaffargarh has been grabbed by some unruly miscreants who on the strength of this free booty not only behave like dacoits, creating mischief for the surrounding settlements. The government of Punjab is requested to get this land vacated and auction it off on merit to deserving tillers.
