LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said he is personally monitoring the law and order situation as the maintaining peace is the main responsibility of any government.
In the wake of recent terrorist attacks, he said the law enforcement agencies are working with more diligence than before. He directed police and other law enforcement agencies to remain alert and all divisional and district officers should ensure peace in their areas. He asked the additional chief secretary home and IGP to keep a close eye on the situation. All officers concerned should personally monitor the measures taken to protect lives and properties of the people.
Meanwhile, Buzdar in his message on the International Day on the Elimination of Violence against Women has said that violence against women is a social evil and an illegal act. "Violence badly disturbs qualities in women and unrest is created in the society."
The chief minister said Islam has given respect and honour to women and given them complete rights. Therefore, women should be given a respectable place in society. He said the purpose of celebrating this day is to raise voice against violence against women and this day urges us all to give respectable place to women by ridding them of violence. He said a comprehensive policy has been made to end violence against women. The government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is serious in redressing issues of women who are victims of violence. The dream of new Pakistan cannot be realised until violence against women is not eliminated. "In Naya Pakistan, policy regarding the elimination of violence against women will be implemented soon. He said the scope of centres for the violence victim women will be extended to the entire province." We should discharge our religious, social and moral duties in a respectable manner by protecting the rights of women."
