Pakistan: The Punjab government has decided to amend the Local Government Act 2022 to remove discrepancies and has called for proposals from all relevant departments. It aims to ensure that all necessary clearances are obtained before approving the establishment of new cement plants, according to Pakistan Official News. Due to water shortages, expansions or new establishments of cement plants must undergo a feasibility study. Committee members will personally inspect sites for the approval of these plants and the Irrigation Department will pursue legal action against any cement plants exceeding prescribed water usage limits.
