Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar directed strict monitoring of ongoing development schemes to ensure their timely completion in a transparent manner.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the CM directed that the parliamentarians, as well as the secretaries, commissioners and DCs, should regularly monitor development schemes in their areas and make it clear that no compromise will be made on the quality of development projects. The concerned officials should check the standard of construction work and a formal certificate be taken about it. The timely completion of the development schemes is imperative to facilitate the people, he added and emphasized that any delay will not be tolerated. The monitoring of development schemes is aimed to ensure transparency as bungling is a story of the past. No one will be allowed to plunder as development schemes are initiated with the hard-earned money of the people. The divisional and district level monitoring committees should review progress in their areas and send their reports to the CM Office, he added. On the other hand, Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has expressed a deep sense of sorrow over the death of veteran journalist Abdul Hameed Chhapra.
Meanwhile, in a condolence message, the CM expressed heartfelt sympathies with the family and said late Abdul Hameed Chopra played an active role for the rights of the journalists. May Allah Almighty rest the departed soul IN peace and grant courage to the heirs to bear the loss with equanimity, he added. Meanwhile, the chief minister said that he feels better now and thankful to the people for their prayers. Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar said that he is in self-isolation and taking complete care while performing important official assignments from home. The CM also appealed to the citizens to take care as the second corona wave is dangerous. The opposition parties should also avoid holding public meetings as it is the time to jointly heal the wound of ailing humanity. There is enough time for politics in future, he suggested.
