Chairing a special meeting, the chief minister reviewed progress on the Punjab Development Programme, Lahore Development Programme, Model Villages initiative, Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) projects, clean water schemes, and rural road projects.
Addressing public complaints, Maryam Nawaz acknowledged the difficulties faced by citizens due to road digging and assured that the government was taking concrete steps to minimise disruption.
