As per the source article, a senior official disclosed that MMP had finalised the “land use classification plans” for six tehsils — Gujar Khan, Kallar Syedan, Taxila, Murree, Kotli Sattian, and Kahuta. However, the declaration of Murree as a new district led to a pause in the work on land use classification plans for Murree and Kotli Sattian.
