LAHORE: Punjab Housing and Urban Development Minister Bilal Yasin announced on Monday that the provincial government is preparing a historic development budget for the upcoming fiscal year, focusing on public welfare and infrastructure growth.
Speaking during an open court (‘khuli katcheri’) held in his constituency, the Minister stated that all available resources are being utilised to address public grievances and upgrade civic facilities as directed by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
Yasin emphasised that resolving citizens’ issues promptly and effectively is a top priority for the chief minister. He added that these open courts serve to regularly address public concerns. He highlighted the responsibility of public representatives to maintain consistent communication with the people and to respond to their needs swiftly.
Additionally, he mentioned that, following instructions from former Prime Minister and PML-N Quaid Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, all available resources will be used for the development of the constituency and the welfare of its residents. He expressed hope that the changing regional conflict situation would soon lead to lower petroleum prices and a reduction in inflation.
On this occasion, the Minister listened to public complaints, accepted applications, and directed the relevant authorities to take immediate action. The complaints addressed included issues related to development projects, sewerage, sanitation, road repairs, and other civic facilities.
