Mr. Naghman Ahmad

Lalian, Chiniot

Mr. Naghman Ahmad, appointed by the Punjab Land Records Authority as Assistant Director Land Records in Lalian, faced a public campaign by Khatm-e-Nabuwwat groups, who called him a “Qadiani” and threatened wider protests unless he was transferred. On 8 August 2026 the Authority ordered him to report to its headquarters with immediate effect and gave another official charge of the post. The order gave no reason; the campaigners celebrated it as their success.
