The Punjab Assembly in Lahore approved the Skills Development and Entrepreneurship Authority Bill 2026 on Wednesday, according to wire material. The bill, presented by Parliamentary Secretary Khalid Mahmood Ranjha, aims to strengthen the province's skills development and entrepreneurship framework. The session began over an hour late and was chaired by Panel Chairman Samiullah Khan.
The agenda also included questions and answers regarding the Tourism, Archaeology, and Museums Department. However, the question hour was concluded early due to a lack of interest among members, with only one question being answered. Attendance throughout the proceedings was low, with only eight opposition members and around 30 treasury bench members present in the House.
When the quorum shortage was noted, the chair adjourned the proceedings for 15 minutes, but the required number of members could not be reached. Consequently, the session was adjourned until 2:00pm on Thursday. The committee proceedings highlighted ongoing concerns over lawmakers' attendance, as a significant portion of the scheduled agenda was left unattended due to the low participation of members.
