SAHIWAL – Following the directives of Commissioner Sahiwal, Dr. Asif Tufail, the district administration has launched a major crackdown, declaring 28 housing schemes across the district illegal. A formal ban has been imposed on the sale and purchase of plots within these projects to protect citizens from financial loss.
Failure to Meet Legal Requirements
Deputy Commissioner Samiullah Farooq informed the media that all 28 targeted schemes fall under the jurisdiction of the Sahiwal District Council. Most of these private projects were initiated between 2015 and 2025, yet they show negligible progress in infrastructure development.
Under provincial regulations, a housing scheme must complete at least 20% of its development work to maintain legal standing. The Deputy Commissioner noted that:
Most of the blacklisted schemes fall far below the 20% development threshold.
Only one scheme in the district has achieved 90% completion.
These projects lack the mandatory No Objection Certificates (NOCs) and essential legal documentation.

The crackdown spans two tehsils, with 15 illegal schemes identified in Sahiwal and 13 in Chichawatni.
