‘Govt keenly monitoring virus situation’

Mussarat Jamshed Cheema said the authorities are keenly monitoring coronavirus pandemic cases

LAHORE: Punjab Government Spokesperson Mussarat Jamshed Cheema said the authorities were keenly monitoring coronavirus pandemic cases and any area or market could be sealed immediately if the need would arise.

In a statement issued on Saturday, she remarked that Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar was working in the field and not taking decisions within four walls, whereas opponents were criticising Punjab government through internet while sitting in the comfort of their houses.

She said PML-N and PPP had kept the entire system and machinery hostage in the past and now they were labeling accountability as ‘political victimisation’, adding that PML-N Leader Hamza Shehbaz was behind the bars as he looted billions of rupees of the national exchequer.
