PTC News Desk: Punjab government has transferred 177 Naib tehsildars and 58 tehsildars. Earlier on Tuesday, in a significant development, Punjab government had suspended 14 tehsildars after ultimatum over their refusal to register sale deeds.
Department of Revenue and Rehabilitation issued a notification citing transfers of Naib tehsildars and tehsildars with immediate effect.
