According to reports, operation at the Tehsil level was suspended due to the elimination of Punjab’s local government governance structure. Also, funding for construction projects has been delayed for a long time, resulting in degraded or non-existent infrastructure in rural areas.
The government has agreed to raise the level of poverty-stricken tehsils with renewed vigour. Usman Buzdar, the Chief Minister of Punjab, has ordered all concerned parties to expedite progress on all development projects to provide relief to the residents.
