Explaining the details in this regard, the spokesperson of Office of the Ombudsman Punjab said on Wednesday that the cases were related to complaints of non-payment of dues based on blood relationship, leave encashment, delay in return of surety money and wrong deducted on the basis of late delivery.
Meanwhile, the Workers Welfare Fund Punjab has also paid Rs.1149014 as talent scholarship and educational expenses to one Laiba Chaand of Layyah after involvement of the ombudsman’s office, the spokesman added.
The spokesman further stated that the ombudsman’s office moderated to get vacated state lands valuing over 2.54 crores in Mianwali and Toba Tek Singh after five different complainants approached the ombudsman’s office to retrieve the same from illegal squatters.
The state lands have been handed over to the concerned administration for official use.
