LAHORE:
To facilitate the construction sector in line with the package announced by Prime Minister Imran Khan to achieve desired results through Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) reforms, Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has geared up its efforts to serve public amid Covid-19.
With the introduction of EoDB reforms and setting up of e-Khidmat Centre at LDA office Johar Town in mid-July 2020, LDA not only paced up its timely disposal rate but also enhanced its approval rate of the applications received, the authority asserted in a statement.
A total of 26,222 new applications were received at One-Window Cell of LDA while 24,210 applications were disposed of during Aug-Dec 2020. In this period, the application approval rate of LDA stood at 58% in comparison to 42% in the same period of 2019.
LAHORE: The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) on Tuesday decided to celebrate spring festival (Jashan-i-Baharan) in the first week of March.

The participants were told that the event would have more than 15 colourful programmes including dog show, cat show, mural painting, story telling, vintage car rally, Sufi night, Mushaira and Chirran Da Chamba.
