Ferozepur, July 21, 2025: Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission member Gurpreet Singh Ittanwali today met with 192 families residing on Mallo Ke Road in Zira, following notices served to vacate their houses. The meeting was attended by SDM Zira Gurmeet Singh Maan and other administrative officials.
During the interaction, Gurpreet Singh Ittanwali stated that these families had approached the Commission after receiving eviction notices, despite having lived in these houses for over 50 years.
