Control room set up for Punjab by-polls

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that a central control room, monitoring cell and social media wing has been set up at the Central Secretariat of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Model Town, Lahore in view of the Punjab by-polls, scheduled for Sunday (today).

The central control room will collect correct information from all the 20 constituencies and inform the public and media without any delay, she said in a series of tweets.

The information and broadcasting minister said the initiative would not only help monitor those who had “stolen ballots and abducted electoral staff during the Daska by-election” but also expose their “evildoings”.

The Punjab by-elections will be held in PP-7, PP-83, PP-90, PP-97, PP-125, PP-127, PP-140, PP-158, PP-167, PP-168, PP-170, PP-202, PP-217, PP-224, PP-228, PP-237, PP-272, PP-273, PP-282 Layyah and PP-288 constituencies.
