The ruling group held its meeting with 18 members. But, tehsil naib nazim, belonging to MNA Amjad Warraich group, did not preside over the meeting. Instead it was presided by Mian Islam Abid.

The house adopted a resolution in which the proposed change in route of M-4 motorway project was condemned. The house demanded to construct the road according to its approved route.

A resolution demanded immediate transfer of Gojra tehsildar Sanaullah. Tehsil nazim Asad Zaman Cheema, TMO and other officials also attended this meeting.
