LAHORE: A Punjab Assembly committee has summoned Lahore Gymkhana’s management for hearings scheduled on October 20 and 21 to examine matters related to government land leases, building approvals and land-use compliance, according to a report published on October 17, 2026.
The inquiry focuses on approximately 1,090 kanals of government land located on Lahore’s Mall Road. Reports have cited an annual lease payment of Rs5,000, prompting attention to the terms of the arrangement and the relevant land records.
The committee is also expected to review building permissions and whether construction and land use comply with applicable requirements. However, the available reports do not specify which structures or activities are under examination, and no final findings have been announced.
The hearings will provide an opportunity for the committee to examine the lease documents, relevant approvals and other records before reaching any conclusions. A response from Lahore Gymkhana’s management was not included in the reports available.
The matter highlights the importance of transparency in the management of public land, particularly in major urban areas where land-use decisions and lease conditions attract public interest. The outcome could clarify the terms of the lease and address questions raised during the inquiry.
Further details are expected after the scheduled hearings. Until the committee completes its review and releases its findings, the reported lease terms and alleged compliance issues should not be treated as evidence of any confirmed violation.
