Talking to the affectees of Omega City case, he said that the layout plan/map of the scheme had been approved by departments concerned, however, the affectees were advised to pay remaining amounts and secure possession of their plots from society administration, otherwise, they could recover their amount from the society. In this regard, the NAB Lahore has already issued instructions to the society administration.

He said that he was listening to every person appearing in open hearing and proper initiatives were taken to facilitate them.
