LAHORE:Commissioner Nauman Yousaf has directed deputy commissioners of all four districts to ensure early disposal of pending revenue cases, stressing that development, beautification and improved municipal services remain key priorities.
He issued the directions while chairing a divisional meeting to review district performance, achievement of targets, revenue matters, public service delivery and cleanliness operations under the Suthra Punjab programme, here on Saturday.
Deputy commissioners of the four districts gave briefings on the Apna Khet Apna Rozgar initiative, district performance indicators and implementation of public service delivery targets.
