The Punjab government has initiated a series of practical measures aimed at crime elimination and the rehabilitation of former outlaws, as part of its plan to integrate marginalized regions into the national mainstream. Commissioner Bahawalpur Division, Irfan Ali Kathia, and Regional Police Officer (RPO), Ghazi Muhammad Salahuddin, visited the Nawazabad area of Kacha, accompanied by Deputy Commissioner Zahir Anwar Jappa and DPO Irfan Ali Samon. The officials met with members of the Chamber of Commerce, civil society, and local elders.
