Maryam hails Katcha’s historic security turnaround

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has said that the Katcha region has become a safer area after decades of insecurity.

She made the remarks while addressing an Independence Day ceremony at the Safe City Authority. She said the government was taking steps to improve security and protect citizens across the province.

Maryam said Safe City cameras have now been installed in 43 cities of Punjab. She said the expanded surveillance system would help improve monitoring and strengthen the security network.

The chief minister said the government wants to provide a safer and better Pakistan to future generations. She stressed that public safety remains an important part of the government’s development agenda.

Maryam rejected the impression that government attention was limited to Lahore. She said development cannot be considered meaningful if people living in other cities and regions are ignored.

She said every citizen has the right to benefit from better public services and improved security. The government, she added, is working to ensure that development reaches different parts of the province.

Referring specifically to the Katcha region, Maryam said the area had witnessed insecurity for decades. She claimed that the situation had now changed and the region had become a safer place for the people.

She said modern security technology was playing an important role in improving law and order. The expansion of Safe City surveillance, she added, would help authorities monitor sensitive areas and respond more effectively to security concerns.

The chief minister said the government would continue strengthening security infrastructure across Punjab. She also reiterated her commitment to creating safer cities and improving the quality of life for citizens.
