The Department of Punjab Rural Development and Panchayats has started registering criminal cases against persons who have illegally acquired chunks of ?shamlat? (common) land in various villages across the state.
Balwinder Singh Multani, Director of the department, said at least 10 cases were registered under Section 13-A of the Punjab Village Common Land Act, 1961, by the Rural Development Department recently.
?There is a provision of serving a maximum sentence of two years imprisonment in such cases,? Multani said, adding that the department had prepared a list of several other persons who were in illegal possession of the common land.
The official said the department was determined on the issue and had already retrieved several acres of land under illegal possession.
Recently, a chunk of 719 acres of land in Patiala district was freed and restored to the respective panchayats, he added.
Multani admitted that over 1,283 ?kabza? (possession) warrants were yet to be executed.
?My first priority is to execute these warrants as early as possible and restore the encroached land to the respective panchayats,? said Multani.
?The results will come soon,? he assured.
