As a result of the efforts of the Punjab Overseas Pakistanis Commission (OPC), the house of a Holland based Pakistani which was being illegally occupied has been evacuated and handed back to the owner.
According to OPC Commissioner Afzaal Bhatti, Irfan Kazmi from Rotter Dam, Holland, lodged a complaint with the OPC that tenants had refused to vacate his house in Nishtar Block, Allama Iqbal Town, Lahore, and had also threatened his family.
Afzaal Bhatti said that this complaint was referred to District Overseas Pakistanis Committee (DOPC) Lahore for further action. The committee pursued the case vigorously and had the house evacuated by the illegal occupants. Israr Kazmi, a brother of the complainant, thanked the OPC for their support in retrieving the house. Commissioner Afzaal Bhatti further said that the OPC is actively pursuing complaints by expatriate Pakistanis and that they shouldn’t hesitate to contact the commission for the resolution of their issues.
