Special Assistant to the Chief Minister (SACM) Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan, Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA) CEO Imran Amin, Advisor to the Chief Minister Punjab Dr Salman Shah, and other important officials virtually attended the meeting.
During the meeting, it was announced that a 100-acre knowledge park would be established where popular institutions would establish their campuses.
