July 29, 2021
LAHORE: The Punjab government on Wednesday told the Lahore High Court that development works in the province had been halted and day to day affairs were being run through administrators only.
Chief Secretary Jawad Rafiq Malik stated this during the hearing of petitions seeking implementation of the Supreme Courtâs judgement about restoration of the local governments in the province. The top bureaucrat told the court that the committee formed to implement the judgment held its first meeting on Friday. He said the committee sought two weeks to come up with a plan for the restoration of the LG system. Lahore cityâs lord mayor retired Col Mubashir Javed and other representatives opposed the request of the government for more time.
