Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar has hinted that an ordinance may be promulgated to hold officers accountable for delaying official files for more than five days.
He was speaking to media and addressing a ceremony organized to distribute ration among poor rickshaw drivers in collaboration with the King Salman Relief Centre and Hayat Foundation at Governor’s House on Wednesday.
“I will try to convince the prime minister and chief minister for the promulgation of the ordinance as early as possible,” he said. The governor stressed that the bureaucrats must perform their duties actively for the progress and prosperity of the country. He said that it was his life dream and objective to ensure safe drinking water for masses, who were still being denied of this basic human need and contracting life-threatening diseases.
Lamenting that the number of new coronavirus-positive cases have started surging, the governor said the government would be left with no option but to impose lockdown with strict restrictions.
King Salman Relief Centre Deputy Director Muhammad Yousaf, Hayat Foundation’s Muhammad Shahzad, Governor’s Political Secretary Mian Kashif Iqbal, Awami Rickshaw Union President Majeed Ghauri, social worker Pir Nazim Shah and others were present on the occasion.
“Since I have expressed my strong reservations against some bureaucrats, different senior officers have contacted me and assured that the Aab-i-Pak Authority work will be executed at a faster pace and all issues including PC-I be completed soon,” Chaudhry Sarwar said. After the completion of official working, the governor said the Aab-i-Pak Authority would start installing filtration plants and provide safe drinking water to poor masses.
He regretted that people had thronged bazaars and markets without protective measures as soon as the government eased down restrictions in the lockdown. He said this situation would come out to be very serious for the whole nation and government would be compelled to re-impose strict lockdown to save people from contracting coronavirus.
TEVTA chief calls on Governor: Technical Education & Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA) Chairperson Ali Salman Siddique met the Governor Chaudhry Sarwar at the Governor House and briefed him about TEVTA efforts for Covid-19.
He also presented corona protective kits prepared by TEVTA comprising medical masks, face shields, gloves and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the governor.
Giving details, Ali Salman said that thus far TEVTA had made over 60 thousand medicated masks, 1000 gloves , 500 face shields, 2635 sanitizers, 600 PPEs which have been distributed to district governments across Punjab. Moreover, 5 walkthrough sanitizer doors while splitter valves for ventilators have been manufactured employing use of state of the art 3D printing.
Ali said that TEVTA has contributed Rs 7.2 million to the Chief Minister Punjab’s Corona Fund while Rs 6.3 Million have been contributed towards TEVTA’s Corona & Ration Fund. The governor appreciating TEVTA’s contribution towards fighting Covid-19 said that adopting safety measures would help prevent corona. He stressed for public consumption that relaxation in lockdown shouldn’t be misconstrued as an announcement of corona having ended. The best way forward to combating this menace was to adopt safety measures in letter and spirit.
As many as 50 kits of protective gear made by TEVTA were handed over to the Governor Punjab by the Chairperson on this occasion. COO TEVTA Akhtar Abbas Bharwana and others concerned were also present in the meeting.
