He issued these instructions while presiding over the 10th meeting of Punjab Housing and Town Planning Agency as its chairman, here on Wednesday. Secretary Housing and Public Health Engineering, Khalid Sultan, Director General Phata, Shehzad Jamil as well as representatives of Planning and Development, Local Government, Finance and Revenue departments were also present.
