The funds have been approved by the government under the Punjab Cities Program (PCP), which is supported by the World Bank (WB). Under the project, Kamoke will be provided with machinery, manpower, and funds for its welfare and development. Giving a briefing to the media, Punjab Minister for Local Government and Community Development (LGCD) Mian Mahmood-ur-Rasheed said that Kamoke is one of the 16 tehsils that would be developed under PCP and will be given the resources to make it a beautiful city. He stated that the funds will be utilised to improve water supply, sewerage, roads, street lighting, park maintenance, and solid waste management. Furthermore, 22,000 empty local government seats will be filled for improved administration.
It is worth noting that Kamoke is a nearby city to Lahore with a growing population. However, the city is also one of Punjab’s underdeveloped cities. The government has decided to grant funding to smaller cities in order to prevent people from migrating to larger urban regions.
