Rs3.6 Billion Judicial Complexes Approved in Pakistan

In a significant move aimed at enhancing the construction sector in Pakistan, the Provincial Development Working Party (PDWP) has approved two major development schemes worth a staggering Rs 3.6 billion. This decision was made during the 44th meeting of the fiscal year 2024-25, which took place under the leadership of Chairman of the Planning and Development (P&D) Board, Barrister Nabeel Ahmad Awan.

The approved projects include the construction of a Judicial Complex in Gujjar Khan, located in District Rawalpindi, with an estimated cost of Rs 1,459.645 million. Additionally, a Judicial Complex will be built at the District Headquarters in Jhang, which is projected to cost Rs 2,142.679 million. These developments are expected to significantly improve the judicial infrastructure in these regions, providing better facilities for legal proceedings and enhancing access to justice for the local population.

The meeting was attended by key officials, including Secretary of the P&D Board, Dr. Asif Tufail, and Chief Economist, Masood Anwar, along with other members of the P&D Board and senior officials. Their collective expertise and insights played a crucial role in the decision-making process, ensuring that the approved schemes align with the broader goals of development and public service.

Investing in judicial infrastructure is not just about constructing buildings; it is about laying the groundwork for a more efficient and accessible legal system. With these new complexes, the government aims to reduce the backlog of cases and provide a more conducive environment for legal practitioners and citizens alike. This initiative reflects a commitment to improving the rule of law and ensuring that justice is not only served but is also seen to be served.

The approval of these uplift schemes marks a positive step towards strengthening the judicial framework in Pakistan. As these projects move forward, it is essential for the authorities to ensure transparency and efficiency in their execution. The successful completion of these complexes will not only enhance the legal landscape but also serve as a testament to the government's dedication to fostering development and improving the lives of its citizens.
