CPO Faisalabad Cap (Retd) Muhammad Raza briefed it about law and order and actions taken against criminals. The Punjab cabinet accorded approval for appointing commissioners at all departments for redressing public complaints. The commissioners will listen to citizen’s complaints and take measures for redressing them.
The meeting also decided to repair, maintain and renovate historical as well as ancient buildings not only in the provincial capital but also in other cities of the Punjab province. The meeting also approved to expand the scope of Walled City of Lahore Authority across Punjab province.
The Punjab cabinet decided to declare Bukhara, a city of Uzbekistan and Lahore as twin cities, to make the Chaukidari system at the village level more effective rather than increasing salaries of watchmen (Chaukidars). The Ravi Urban Development Authority in collaboration with Punjab Agriculture Market Regulatory Authority will establish vegetable and fruit markets.
