Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar inaugurated the Insaf Imdad Program during his visit to Nankana Sahib district on Monday where he also inspected the aid distribution in Government MC Girls School.
The aid-recipients expressed their satisfaction over the arrangements while talking to him. Speaking on the occasion the CM told that Rs12000 each will be given to 25 lac needy families. He reemphasized that no one can challenge the immaculate transparency of this program which is solely meant for the needy families.
The Punjab government will not leave the impoverished families, affected due to the lockdown, alone, he stressed. He said that the government is selflessly serving the people while rising above petty politics as there is enough time for it. Those who are busy in politicizing the coronavirus pandemic have disappointed the people, he added. Usman Buzdar also inspected the 100-beds corona field hospital set up in a gymnasium.
He told that field hospitals have also been set up in Sangla Hill and Shah Kot, each having 30-beds capacity. Four ventilators are also provided and anti-coronavirus activities are being directly supervised by me, the CM added. He also appreciated the work done by DC Nankana Sahib and his team to counter the onslaught of coronavirus and directed them to work with more zeal. The CM told that reopening of specific businesses and shops has been allowed from today (Monday), along with more industrial units, and these businesses will have to follow government devised SOPs. Legal action will be initiated in case of SOPs’ violation, he warned. The CM expressed displeasure over the dilapidated conditions of roads during his inspection of the city and directed to complete the remaining construction work of Syedwala road within 15 days adding that no leniency will be tolerated because timely completion of development projects is essential.
