The meeting reviewed the reforms in departments, e-governance and annual development programme. The additional chief secretary, additional chief secretary (South Punjab), Senior Member Board of Revenue and administrative secretaries of all departments attended the meeting while all divisional commissioners participated through a video link.

Addressing the meeting, the chief secretary said that the reforms are inevitable to improve the service delivery and efficiency of the departments.

He said that e-FOAS and e-procurement were being implemented successfully, adding that the paperless working had brought innovation and transparency in the work.

He mentioned that the elimination of the traditional file system had reduced costs and increased the speed of work.
