New Authorities for Better Governance
The three authorities established are the Punjab Development Authority, Punjab Water & Sanitation Authority, and Punjab Horticulture Authority. Each will play a pivotal role in addressing critical urban issues like infrastructure, water management, and environmental sustainability.
Improved Urban and Rural Development
The Punjab Development Authority will focus on urban growth and planning, while the Water & Sanitation Authority is expected to tackle critical water management and sanitation challenges. The Horticulture Authority will enhance green spaces and promote environmental sustainability throughout the province.
Legislative Process to Begin Soon
These newly-established authorities will soon be formalized through legislative measures. This initiative, driven by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, marks a crucial step in modernizing Punjab’s urban infrastructure and services, benefiting millions of residents.
