LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar said on Saturday that overcoming price-hike is the top priority of the government because it wants to provide relief to the masses.
"We came to power in difficult times but did not lose heart; things are being improved and there is nothing to worry about," the CM said, adding: "Punjab is being transformed and a series of good news has started for the public."
There are challenges but we will go to the people by solving all the problems, the CM said in a statement.
Sardar Usman maintained that the culture of merit is being promoted in Punjab and decisions are being made in a transparent manner. "Merit and transparency are our hallmarks, we think positively and give attention to doing positive work for the masses," he added.
The CM stated that the people are fed up with the usual impassiveness of conservative leaders of traditional political parties. Only the PTI government, led by Prime Minister Imran Khan, can bring change in real terms, he added.
Meanwhile, while chairing a special meeting of the Apex Committee, to review security arrangements for Muharram-ul-Haram, the CM directed that implementation of corona SOPs be ensured for congregations and processions and foolproof security arrangements will be made for masajid, imam bargahs and worship places.
"We will soon overcome corona but precaution is very much necessary," he said, adding: "The restriction of face masks during congregations be ensured as any violation could cause re-spread of the virus."
He said that every possible step will be taken for the promotion of religious harmony and eradication of sectarianism. He directed that action will be taken against the elements involved in spreading sectarianism through social media. The services of Pakistan Army will also be obtained for ensuring law & order in Muharram-ul-Haram.
Corps Commander Lahore Lt Gen Majid Ehsan, GOC 10 Division Maj Gen Aniq ur Rahman, DG Rangers Maj Gen Amir Majeed and other military officials attended the meeting.
