PESHAWAR, May 30 (APP):Chief Information Commissioner of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Farah Hamid Khan on Friday met her Punjab counterpart, Malik Muhammad Phulla, in Lahore to discuss ways to strengthen awareness and implementation of the Right to Information (RTI) law across both provinces.

During the meeting, the commissioners agreed to continue regular dialogue and to explore further joint initiatives, including the organization of workshops, public awareness campaigns, and proposals for legal and procedural reforms to reinforce the RTI framework.
The meeting marked a significant step toward inter-provincial collaboration in strengthening transparency and accountability through enhanced public access to information.
