Public service is pivotal to PML-N politics: CM Shehbaz

Shehbaz says transparency, speed and completion of high-quality development projects are priority

LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said billions of rupees have been provided to improve the quality of life of the people of Punjab.

He added that transparency, speed and completion of high-quality development projects were the characteristics of the Punjab government. “It is working day and night so that Pakistan could be developed into a modern state. The government is vigorously pursuing the mission of public service despite impediments and work is underway to transform the problems of the masses into relief."

“In our tenure, a prosperous, peaceful and economically reliant Pakistan has emerged, ” he said while talking to members of the Punjab Assembly, belonging to different districts, who called on him on Thursday.



The CM said progress in underdeveloped areas was the special focus of composite development, adding billions of rupees were spent to provide basic facilities to the masses living in remote areas. He said that when PML-N came to power, the country was plunged into darkness and even economically doomed.

“The prolonged load-shedding, spanning over 18 hours a day, had made the life of the people a living hell.” He added there was also a law and order situation prevalent in the country.

“Meanwhile, terrorism and the energy crisis had badly affected the economy, but due to the hard work and continuous efforts of the PML-N, the darkness of power outages has ended,” he said.

The CM continued that joint decisions made by the political and military leadership have shown positive results and the backbone of the terrorists was broken.
