flag Punjab passes law to protect minority properties with oversight, penalties, and joint ownership rules.

flag Punjab has introduced a bill to protect minority-owned properties, including places of worship and community institutions, by establishing a Provincial Action Committee with minority representation. flag The committee will oversee records, prevent encroachments, and require government approval for any sale, lease, or transfer, making unauthorized actions invalid. flag Violations may lead to up to seven years in prison and a fine of 100,000 rupees. flag The law applies to properties funded by public, charitable, or foreign sources and mandates joint ownership for single-name registrations within six months. flag The initiative, backed by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, aims to prevent exploitation and ensure minority communities retain control over their shared assets.
