Federal Minister for Energy Sardar Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari reaffirmed Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) government’s commitment to public welfare, saying provision of electricity to remote areas was top priority.
He made these remarks while addressing the residents of Sakhi Sarwar, a suburban area of Dera Ghazi Khan, during a visit. Accompanied by Punjab Assembly Member Sardar Awais Khan Leghari, senior PML-N leader Haji Malik Irshad Hussain, and other notables, the minister said the PML-N government was dedicated to improving the living standard of the common man through practical measures. “We are working tirelessly to steer the country out of economic challenges and provide an affordable electricity to all. Resolving public issues is our utmost priority,” he added.
The minister inspected the cleanliness campaign under the Suthra Punjab initiative and expressed concern over inadequate sanitation condition in the area. He directed the local administration to address the issue immediately and ensure proper waste management.
At Sakhi Sarwar Civil Hospital, the federal minister interacted with patients, inquired about the medical services being provided, and expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of staff, essential facilities, and non-functional equipment. He sought a detailed report and called for immediate steps to address the shortcomings. “The number of doctors is alarmingly low. Increasing medical staff is essential to ensure quality healthcare for the people,” he remarked.
Earlier, upon his arrival in Sakhi Sarwar, the minister received a warm welcome from the local residents, who chanted slogans in favour of PML-N and Sardar Awais Ahmad Leghari.—APP
