LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has called for comprehensive land records of various departments during a session aimed at reviewing revenue targets for the first quarter.
Chairing the session, the CM praised the relevant departments for meeting their revenue goals and directed the preparation of a plan for the effective utilization of government land.
