Chief Adviser Prof. Muhammad Yunus has instructed deputy commissioners (DCs) to ensure strict enforcement of law and order while intensifying market monitoring efforts across the country.
Speaking at the inauguration of three-day DC Conference at Shapla Hall, he emphasized that maintaining law and order remains the government's highest priority. He urged the DCs to carry out their responsibilities diligently to uphold stability.
Prof. Yunus highlighted the importance of teamwork in governance, stating that every official must work in unison to achieve national success. He called for better coordination between law enforcement agencies and the civil administration, stressing the need for discipline in their operations.
Additionally, the chief adviser directed officials to safeguard minority rights, reaffirming the government's commitment to ensuring equal protection for all citizens. He encouraged minority communities to exercise their rights, assuring them of the administration’s support.
Addressing market regulation, he proposed introducing a ranking system to evaluate district administrations' performance in monitoring markets. This, he suggested, would encourage healthy competition and improve oversight.
On birth registration, Prof. Yunus emphasized the necessity of providing citizens with hassle-free services, as the absence of birth certificates often hinders access to national identification cards and passports. He reiterated the government's stance that police verification should no longer be required for passport issuance and urged authorities to prevent any form of harassment in the process.
He also questioned delays in implementing the online land registration system, calling for immediate action to make the process fully functional.
Furthermore, he stressed the importance of strengthening primary education, urging DCs to focus on resolving existing challenges in the sector.
The conference, attended by senior government officials, will address 353 proposals from DCs and divisional commissioners. Scheduled to run until Tuesday, it includes 34 working sessions with various ministries and departments.
