Overview
- A parliamentary standing committee has recommended creating a Federal Property Management Authority to catalogue, protect and lease under‑used federal land that officials say is widely encroached and poorly managed.
- The federal Energy Minister ordered a review of national 118 complaint data and directed distribution companies to begin disciplinary action, with PESCO and SEPCO suspending several SDOs and more than 100 officers identified for follow‑up.
- Government and Pakistan Peoples Party negotiators agreed to present the federal budget on 10 June, while talks continue over PSDP project allocations and PPP demands to keep programs such as the Benazir Income Support Programme under federal control.
- Security and criminal cases remain active: Lahore police have added murder charges in the death of an 18‑year‑old domestic worker linked to an abortion, the Pakistan Army reported killing four militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa operations, and four police officers abducted in Gwadar are the subject of ongoing search efforts.
- Taken together, the actions show the federal executive pushing institutional reform and visible accountability in utilities while managing political bargaining over development funding and responding to separate law‑enforcement and security pressures that could affect budget priorities and public trust.
