Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Monday said that Pakistan Muslim League-N is utilising national resources on public welfare honestly and saving billions of national money through the right use of resources and transparency, this hasn't been witnessed in the past. 

He said the government had saved Rs112 billion in three gas power projects, through transparency. We have set examples in welfare projects. The Punjab government is the most transparent government of Pakistan who has always welcomed people’s interest. 

He expressed the above views in a meeting with PML-N delegates. He also said he himself is invigilating the welfare projects and our government has also ensured the third party audit for transparency and quality standards and this has helped us in right use of the resources in the development projects. Metro Bus is the best example of using nation’s resources on common man, he added. Computerisation of Land record system is a historic step taken by our government. After the completion of rural land record system we will also introduce the land record system in urban areas as well. There is a definite socio-economic change after the introduction of Punjab Land Record Management System, this has saved people from the hassle of Patwari culture and they are getting their land record in minimal amount.
