Special Assistant to Punjab Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has said that Prime Minister Imran Khan and Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar will visit Sialkot today (Wednesday) on the invitation of Sialkot Chamber of Commerce. In a statement issued on Tuesday, she said that the PM Imran Khan will inaugurate Air Sial Airline and other development projects besides meeting political, social and business community in Sialkot.
Dr Firdous said that Sialkot is one of the economic hubs of Pakistan’s economy and generates foreign exchange valuing about $2.5 billion annually. The PTI government gave confidence to the business community and due to effective polices of the government, the economy of Pakistan is heading towards the right direction, she further said.
She said that the government is working on different public welfare projects including health and education in Sialkot. Skilled development program is not only providing employment opportunities to the people of Sialkot but also ensuring skilled labour to local industry, she added.
She said that different projects have been started in Sialkot to resolve the long-awaited problems of water supply and sewerage system. She said that Shehbaz Sharif invested only in mega projects of Lahore and neglected small cities and rural areas. The PTI government believes in the equal and fair distribution of resources and ensures composite development in the province, she added.
Special Assistant to Punjab Chief Minister on Information said that PDM’s irresponsible behavior despite increasing number of corona cases is shameful. In a statement issued on Tuesday, she said that the cheap narrative of PDM leaders is dead now as the people have rejected it. The opposition is feeling no shame for playing with the lives of the innocent people, she added.
She said that 429 confirmed cases have been reported and 41 patients have died in Punjab during the last 24 hours. She said that the number of corona patients in Punjab has reached more than 1 lac 24 thousand. The number of active corona patients has reached 9,363 and a total of 3,218 patients have died in Punjab, she further said. The ratio of deaths during the second wave is continuously increasing and holding public meetings in this situation is sheer enmity with the people, she added. She said that the insensible opposition leaders are unable to understand the severity of the situation and putting the lives of the people in danger only to safeguard its political interests. The patriotic Pakistanis will not fall into the trap of opposition and defeat will be the fate of PDM on December 13.
