The chief minister asserted that he was an advocate of the ignored and neglected people. He said his relationship with the people of the province had become stronger.

The incumbent government headed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) believed in practical work rather than launching projects for self-projection and, therefore, it had successfully delivered, he added.

Some differently-abled youth also met the chief minister on the occasion and apprised him of their problems. Buzdar directed the authorities concerned to solve their problems.

An elderly woman presented a picture of Prime Minister Imran Khan to Buzdar on the occasion. Another female artist presented the chief minister his pencil sketch.

According to a handout, participants of the open house said Chief Minister Buzdat had set an example of public service by opening the doors of his office for the common people. They said they could not even think of entering the Chief Minister Office in the past. They lauded the steps taken by Buzdar to serve the people and solve their problems.

The principal secretary to the chief minister and other officials concerned of the CM Office were also present on the occasion.
