He directed community leaders to share these concerns with various social and religious organisations and involve informed citizens in the process.
Speaker further announced that a detailed plan for the town’s development would soon be prepared in consultation with officials and councillors. “The government can provide funds, but maintaining cleanliness, improving the town’s appearance and ensuring proper civic management requires collective effort,” he said.
