Talking to newsmen, the committee chairman Raees Mahboob said the land would be allotted on merit to deserving landless farmers after proper scrutiny of their past four years 'khasra gardawari' (land list) record.
He said in district Rahimyar Khan, of the total 15,958 acres land to be allotted to landless farmers, over 4167 acres would be allotted in Tehsil Rahimyar Khan, over 3802 acres in Tehsil Sadiqabad, over 1695 acres in Tehsil Liaquatpur and over 6293 acres in Tehsil Khanpur.
