Chaudhry Amir Hussain said that efforts are being made for constituting the "Development Board" comprising on elected representatives of the district governments while the Members National and Provincial Assemblies would be the ex-officio members of the development board.
The development board would be constituted after discussing different aspects and members of the parliament would be taken into confidence, he added.
