Punjab Governor Chaudhary Muhammad Sarwar on Saturday signed the Punjab Local Government Bill 2019. While signing the bill, the Governor said that the new local bodies system will protect every penny of the nation and the accountability of the local bodies' representatives will also be assured. "Ensuring service delivery at doorsteps of the people is an integral part of the manifesto of PTI," he added.
He averred that unlike the previous governments that gave so-called powers to local bodies, the present government has actually depicted the aspirations of the people by devolving powers at ground level. "This bill justifies Imran Khan's vision of strengthening common people," he added.
