LAHORE, March 17: Development funds of the city government will be spent on under developed and less privileged areas of the city.

This was stated by Lahore district Nazim Mian Amer Mahmood while talking to a delegation of Nazims from 16 union councils here on Sunday.

Mr Amir said in the past the development funds were used on big roads and no attention was paid to the deserved areas. He said his top priority was to provide clean water, sewerage facilities and new streets to residents of these areas.
