At the opening ceremony for the project to remodel Kalma Chowk in the Central Business District (CBD), he said that the goal of the division is to improve service delivery in the city. He said that the division is part of a plan by the Punjab government to give residents better services and build up their abilities. He said that the project would be given official approval in the next few days, after surveys and boundary issues were taken care of. He also said that work would start on a highway that would go from Kasur to Rahim Yar Khan (RYK), going through Okara and other big cities.

It’s important to remember that Lahore was once supposed to have two different parts: Lahore City and Sadar. The Sadar District was made up of Ferozewala, Harbanspura, and Shalimar. The Lahore City District was made up of Model Town, Raiwind, Lahore City, Thokar Niaz Baig, and Kahna.

CM Mehmood, who was in charge of a meeting about the province’s anti-encroachment drive, told the right people to use Section 144 to stop people from building new houses, hotels, and other commercial and non-commercial buildings along waterways like the Swat, Panjkora, and Kunhar rivers and irrigation department canals all over the province. He asked the right people to do their jobs without being told what to do and to make sure the law is followed.

Mehmood also told everyone involved not to give any No-Objection Certificates (NOC) for building along the rovers. During the meeting, it was said that 100 illegal buildings had been taken down along the Swat River in five separate operations in Kalam, Madyan, Bahrain, Fiza Ghat, and Mingora.
