After the government accepted the package based on suggestions from a special committee, the relevant district administrations (Lahore and Sheikhupura), and the Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA) it was put into action.

It should be noted that landowners have voiced significant reservations about the compensation package released earlier and have encouraged the government to come up with a suitable compensation package for the acquisition of their land. In response to the requests, the government formed a committee to hear from landowners and make suggestions in order to provide a fair land price.
