Separate ADP for South Punjab: secretariat to be set up in next fiscal year: Buzdar

Announcing a separate Annual Development Programme (ADP) for Southern Punjab, Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar Thursday said that Secretariat for Southern Punjab will be established in the next fiscal year.
"The promises made with the people of southern Punjab will be fulfilled and all decisions are being made with mutual consultation. Public service is our important agenda and there is no room for corruption or corrupt elements in the new Pakistan," the CM said, while talking to the provincial ministers and members of national and provincial assemblies, here on Thursday.
The legislators apprised the CM about their issues and also gave suggestions for the resolution of public problems, sources said.
Talking on the occasion, the Buzdar said that war should be won against corruption at every cost. Prime Minister Imran Khan has dreamt of making Pakistan a welfare state and we will work hard to materialize this dream. How can those who have made the country bankrupt, can make claim of leading the nation, he questioned?
The CM maintained that corrupt elements will be left behind and the nation will move forward. The slogan "Corruption-Free Pakistan" of Prime Minister Imran Khan has become the voice of the nation and we are fully aware of the mission of public service. He said that assembly members are my companions in the mission of making Punjab a model province.
"We speak the truth and are serving people with honesty. We will not deceive the nation nor would do any gimmickry," he said, adding: "We do not care for any criticism and give importance to public opinion."
He said PTI government will move the journey of development and prosperity to backward areas. He regretted that national resources were mercilessly wasted in the name of development projects in past tenures but every penny is being spent with utmost honesty on public welfare in the new Pakistan.
The CM further said that proposals and recommendations of public representatives will be given importance for public welfare projects.
We want welfare and economic empowerment of every citizen and the PTI government will fulfill its promises because we are moving in the right direction. Targets will be achieved by implementing the public welfare agenda, he added.
