He pointed out that "citizens will notice a clear change in the level of services provided to them this summer compared to previous years, due to government service plans that we will implement in the coming stage," stressing that there is "continuous communication between the Provincial Council, the local government, and federal government entities to resolve any issues faced by citizens during the summer."
