LAHORE – Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz has issued firm directives for the timely completion of the Lahore Development Plan, setting a clear deadline of June 30 for major urban development projects. During a high-level review meeting, the Chief Minister emphasized the need for monthly timelines and strict, transparent monitoring to ensure efficiency and accountability.
