Legal challenge facing Punjab govt if R3 alignment is aborted
June 28, 2021
ISLAMABAD: The Punjab government is likely to face a major challenge in retrieving as much as Rs2.3 billion it has paid to landowners as compensation for acquisition of their lands in case the new alignment of the Rawalpindi Ring Road (R3) project is cancelled.
An official close to these developments told The News that most of these landowners had already spent the money they had received from the government during the acquisition. “Most of them have spent the money on motorcycles, cars, marriages of their children or acquisition of new houses or lands.”

LAHORE: The Punjab Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) has launched an investigation into the Rawalpindi Ring Road scam to fix ‘criminal responsibility’ of those allegedly involved in it.
Interestingly, the ACE has launched a probe into the matter on the order of Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, whom opposition PML-N accuses of also being involved in the scam and demands constitution of a judicial commission comprising apex court judges to investigate it.
This scam sees a rare engagement of two investigation agencies – one federal (the National Accountability Bureau) and the other provincial (the ACE). The NAB last week had announced launching investigation into the matter.
