LAHORE: Chief Secretary Punjab Zahid Akhtar Zaman has directed that after sifting, all the records of Lahore Development Authority (LDA) be digitized within two months.

He issued this directive during his visit to LDA’s one window cell on Tuesday. The Chief Secretary inquired from the citizens about the provision of services in the one window cell and issued orders for resolution of complaints about delay in cases of Mohlanwal and Johar Town.

The Chief Secretary also presided over a special meeting on the performance of LDA one window cell. He said the sifting process should be completed as soon as possible by using additional resources, adding that the plot transfer and building plan approval must be done automatically without any recommendation.

The Chief Secretary mentioned that people would get the real benefit of one window cell only with complete digitization of records as it would ensure issuance of NOCs, and approval of building plans in minimum time. The meeting also decided to take action against illegal commercial activities in the city.

Commissioner and DG LDA Muhammad Ali Randhawa gave a briefing on the performance of one window cell and other reforms, including updating the records of housing societies.
