Bhatti also said that proposals should be drawn for construction of a modern building to Madhira municipality. If building constructions crossed the municipal road limits, the Municipality Commissioner alone should take the responsibility, he said.
He asked officials to take measures to ensure that street lights in all colonies of the municipality are functioning properly and CC roads restoration works be completed in all the areas inundated by floods in the town.
