LAHORE: Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said that the incumbent government will provide maximum relief to the masses by lowering the prices of essential food items.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, Usman Buzdar said that Pakistan was far stronger today as compared to the previous one under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan. “We neither did artificial work like the previous rulers did nor will ever do so. All the government stakeholders are united and are on the same page,” the CM said.
He maintained that those who spread false rumours had to face failure on every occasion.
The PTI government is taking along allied parties to smoothly run the government, he said. “Our intention is clear and we are going in the right direction. It is our foremost objective to make Punjab the best province and provide the masses with state-of-the-art facilities. We are all working with unity and will never give opportunity to anyone to complain,” the CM said.
Usman Buzdar maintained, “We will not tolerate any obstacle to be created in the path of ensuring progress and prosperity for the masses of the province. I have devoted the post of chief minister to provide service and comfort to the masses.”
He said that the under-developed areas were intentionally kept deprived of progress during the previous tenures. The PTI government has focused its all-out attention on ensuring the progress of far-flung areas as well,” he said.
The CM said, “We will also safeguard the rights of farmers in the current year. We paid full reward to the farmers previously and will do so in future also.” The process of wheat purchase will be done earlier in the current year as compared to the previous year.
The computerised revenue record project will be launched at the village level and initially in 14 Qanoongoi areas’ pilot projects will be started, he concluded.
