gradation, in which the 6 Marla piece of land is company owned and was already purchased
back in 1996 for the old SMS and remaining 4.77 Marla land has been covered during the up-
gradation of the SMS in year 2021-22.Initially transmission along with Land department HO
have tried their best to find out the land for the SMS up-gradation , unfortunately no such
piece of land was available which was suitable for the up-gradation. Several meetings have
also been conducted with the NHA department for providing a piece of land for up-gradation
of SMS but NHA refused to provide land for SMS construction as NHA land available here is
under legal litigation.
Later on, for timely completion/execution of the capital job it was decided that SMS
may be upgraded at the existing SMS place as per Management instructions. After
completing the construction work and commissioning of the SMS in June 2022, a person
namely Mr. Raj Muhammad appeared in Wah(T) Office in December 2022, after six
months, claimed that an extra piece of land approximately 4.77 Marla occupied by SNGPL
during Construction of SMS which is not purchased from him, while enquiring for not
approaching SNGPL office timely during construction work of the same SMS for processing
his claim, he failed to answer satisfactory which clearly showed his mala fide intentions for
demanding his own sweet will price for this extra piece of land after completing the SMS
construction.
