The CM directed to take steps to colonise the special economic zones without delay.

Meanwhile, MNAs Haji Imtiaz Ahmad, Syed Faizul Hasan Shah and MPAs Gulraiz Afzal Chan and Muhammad Tarar called on Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar to apprise him about their constituencies’ related problems.
Talking on the occasion, the CM asserted that the backward areas have been made part of the development process and record development work has been done in every district.
Regrettably, the past government ignored the remote areas but all such localities are being developed by the PTI government, he added. The work done in three years was greater than the previous governments’ performance, he noted.
The CM regretted that the useless agitation of the opposition is aimed at saving their personal stakes as political designs of the PDM revolves around their personal interest.
Opposition is oblivious to people and it is bent upon obstructing the development process, he said. However, the politics of public service and development process would only prevail in the country, the CM concluded.
