600 arrested for Tenancy Law violations in 2026


Faisalabad: The police have intensified enforcement of the Tenancy Act and arrested more than 600 violators by registering 565 cases under the Tenant Registration Act during the current year 2026.



Police spokesman Tariq Jatt said that the campaign was being carried out on the directives of City Police Officer (CPO) Tanveer Hussain, who ordered strict implementation of tenancy laws across the district.



He said that more than 600 suspects had been arrested during the ongoing year for violating provisions of the Tenancy Act while the police also registered 565 criminal cases against those found flouting the Tenant Registration Act.



He said that strict legal action was being taken against both property owners and tenants who failed to complete mandatory tenant registration.



Registration in the Police Tenant Registration System was a legal obligation for landlords as well as tenants and no leniency would be shown to those violating the law, he added.



Meanwhile, CPO Tanveer Hussain said that Tenant Registration System had emerged as an effective tool in identifying and apprehending proclaimed offenders and other criminal elements, besides helping police maintain an updated record of residents for effective crime prevention and investigation.



He said that registration of all rental properties in police records had been made mandatory to curb the activities of criminals and anti-social elements.



He directed all Station House Officers (SHOs) to ensure comprehensive registration of tenants within their respective jurisdictions without exception.



The CPO also urged property owners to complete the registration of their tenants without delay through the Police App’s “Tenant Registration” facility. Strict action would continue against those found violating the law in order to maintain peace and strengthen public security across the district, he added.

Spine surgeon fixes patient’s curved spine


Multan: Renowned South Punjab spine surgeon Dr Mahmood Ahmed has successfully balanced position (near straightened) a patient’s curved spine through surgery at a local hospital. The patient will be able to walk within two days and resume a normal routine within a few weeks, Dr Mahmood Ahmed said.



The spine specialist said fears surrounding scoliosis surgery among the public had no medical basis and were unfounded. He said the procedure was recognised worldwide as a safe, effective and reliable treatment option, made possible by modern medical technology and experienced surgeons.



Explaining the procedure, Dr Mahmood Ahmed said titanium rods and specialised screws were used to bring the spine into a balanced position during scoliosis surgery. These rods and screws are fused with the vertebrae to halt further curvature and provide the patient with a strong, stable spine.



He said the surgery’s objective was not to make the spine completely straight, but to balance and stabilise it enough to improve the patient’s posture, reduce pain and prevent the condition from progressing further.



Experts said most patients begin walking one to two days after the operation, though complete recovery takes a few months. Pain, physical deformity and difficulties in daily life, however, decrease significantly after surgery.



He added that although scoliosis surgery was a major and sensitive procedure, modern medical protocols and equipment had made it a reliable and successful treatment for complex spinal problems, helping thousands of patients return to healthy, active lives.
