Prime Minister Imran Khan says an effective and vibrant local government system guarantees national development.

Chairing a meeting in Islamabad today (Thursday) regarding upcoming local government elections in Punjab, he said most of people's problems can be resolved on their doorstep through an efficient local government system.

The Prime Minister said the objective of a local bodies system is to devolve powers at grassroots level; and for its success, every segment of the society particularly women, youth, farmers and traders must have equal representation in it.
