During the meeting, magistrates presented statistics on actions taken under price control measures, anti-begging operations, and anti-encroachment drives.
Officials briefed the deputy commissioner on enforcement activities carried out during the past month and highlighted efforts aimed at maintaining public order and regulating markets.
The performance of Assistant Commissioners was reviewed individually. The meeting examined their court work, field activities, and other official responsibilities. Each officer’s progress was discussed to evaluate efficiency and identify areas requiring further attention.
Officials also provided briefings on monitoring of marriage halls, regulation of open spaces, enforcement of official prices, and implementation of government-approved rates for roti and naan. Updates were shared on anti-dengue measures, including inspections and preventive actions carried out in different sectors of Islamabad.
The meeting further reviewed operations against illegal LPG businesses and unauthorized petrol agencies.

The deputy commissioner directed officers to continue these operations in accordance with the law.
Emphasizing public access to government offices, Irfan Memon stressed the need for strict implementation of the district administration’s Open Door Policy. He instructed Assistant Commissioners to make daily meetings with citizens a regular part of their routine and ensure that public complaints receive prompt attention.
The deputy commissioner also directed officers to maintain daily anti-encroachment operations without discrimination. He said enforcement actions should be carried out consistently to keep public spaces clear and ensure compliance with regulations.
The district administration stated that regular performance reviews will continue as part of its accountability framework, helping authorities monitor progress, improve service delivery, and ensure that administrative officers fulfill their responsibilities effectively.
