The district administration of Kasur has completed preparations for the establishment of Ramazan Bazaars across key locations of the city and adjoining areas to ensure the uninterrupted supply of essential commodities at officially controlled rates during the holy month. The arrangements were reviewed in a special meeting chaired by Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Asif Raza, attended by officers of market committees, municipal bodies, price control magistrates, and other relevant departments.
During the briefing, it was informed that specific grounds and government-owned sites have been allocated for the setup of temporary markets to manage customer flow and prevent congestion in regular commercial centres. These organised locations will facilitate the sale of flour, sugar, pulses, rice, cooking oil, vegetables, fruits, and other daily-use items at subsidised or fixed prices.
The deputy commissioner directed that all stalls must clearly display price lists and that supply chains remain stable to avoid shortages. Price control magistrates were instructed to conduct routine inspections and take immediate legal action against hoarding, profiteering, and violations of official rates.
Special emphasis was placed on improving physical arrangements at these sites, including cleanliness, lighting, drinking water, parking space, and pedestrian access to ensure convenience for families and senior citizens. Traffic management plans are also being coordinated to minimise pressure on main roads and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Complaint desks and facilitation counters will operate at each location to address public grievances on the spot. The administration stated that monitoring teams will remain active throughout Ramazan to maintain order, regulate trading activities, and provide relief to residents through structured and well-managed marketplaces across the district.

The Assistant Commissioner of Kasur, Ghulam Fatima, has taken an active role in supervising ongoing beautification and improvement projects across the city’s public parks. Under her guidance, municipal teams are working to enhance green spaces, improve infrastructure, and provide safe, accessible recreational areas for residents.
According to district officials, the beautification efforts include planting seasonal flowers, trimming and maintaining lawns, repairing walking tracks, and upgrading benches, lighting, and public facilities.

The initiative is part of a broader push by the district administration to promote urban greenery, recreational activities, and community engagement, aligning with the provincial government’s vision for sustainable urban development and public welfare.

During inspections, Assistant Commissioner Ghulam Fatima instructed park management teams to monitor water supply for lawns and fountains, ensure timely removal of litter, and maintain proper signage for visitors. She also highlighted the importance of including security measures such as adequate lighting and patrolling to prevent vandalism and ensure public safety.

Urban development experts in the city have praised the administration’s proactive approach, noting that well-managed parks contribute to environmental sustainability, community well-being, and better land use planning. They also highlighted that beautified parks encourage outdoor activities, promote social cohesion, and enhance property values in surrounding areas.
