LAHORE: Maqsood Hussain, an octogenarian resident of Mustafabad Lahore, has succeeded in getting possession of his plot after 35 years due to the involvement of the office of the ombudsman Punjab.

In a statement issued here on Wednesday, the spokesman said that the applicant Maqsood Hussain approached the ombudsman office stating that he has deposited all the installments of his five marla plot number 480-E in Tajpura Housing Scheme Lahore which was allotted to him in 1987 by the LDA.
