To this end, the Punjab government has instructed the relevant departments to acquire 16,000 acres of land for the initiative within 60 days.
According to the information provided, the IRS intends to enforce Articles 4 and 5 of the Punjab Land Acquisition Law of 1894 within two months. Upon completion of the acquisition, the provincial executive will transfer the land to the newly formed (RUDA) Ravi Urban Development Authority.
