Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar met with notables and the general public on the second day of his visit to DG Khan.
He received applications from the visitors and issued directives to the officials for resolution of public problems.
He spoke in Saraiki and Balochi languages and told people the visitors that he is a companion of the citizens.
“Our joys and sorrows are common and i will treat every issue of the public as personal,” he emphasised, saying the public will get immediate feedback on their applications as “we are interlinked in a relation of mutual respect which I cannot forget.”
Different citizens expressed gratitude to the CM for taking personal interest in their problems and said that he is serving the masses diligently.
“A direct liaison with the people is praiseworthy and you are the first chief minister who has formed direct contact with the people.
The past chief ministers were inaccessible, nor could anybody dare to reach them. Along with it, you have not forgotten your lifelong friends,” they further said.
On the occasion, the chief minister made it clear that the officers failing to take timely actions for the resolution of public problems have no place in Punjab.
“I have behaved gently till now”, he pointed out and asserted that the officers must have to deliver while setting aside the tradition of colonial mindset.
IState Minister Zartaj Gul, assembly members including Khawaja Dawood Sulemani, Sardar Ahmed Ali Dareshak, Sardar Mohyuddin Khosa, Javed Akhtar Lund, Shaheena Karim and lawyers and business community members called on Chief Minister Usman Buzdar in DG Khan.
Talking on the occasion, the CM said backward districts are equal partners in the development process.
The resources are diverted towards backward areas in line with the vision of PM Imran Khan to ensure composite development, he said.
Development is the equal right of every district, he reiterated and regretted the past rulers wasted resources on exhibitory projects and step-motherly treatment was meted out with the backward districts by them.
The personal projection was the priority of the past rulers and they thought of themselves above all, he regretted.
The PTI government has reformed the transgressions of the past governments, the CM added and announced that he is the custodian of every neglected district.
Development is the right of south Punjab districts, he stated and added that an in-principle decision has been taken to fix 32 per cent quota for the youth of south Punjab in provincial hiring.
This step will remove the sense of deprivation of the youth of south Punjab, he continued.
Unlike in the past, the quality of life of the people is being improved.
The delegations thanked the CM for taking concrete measures for the development of DG Khan.
You have worked day and night to develop a backward district like DG Khan and the composite development agenda is admirable. You are a real advocate of districts kept neglected in the past, they said.
Commissioner, RPO and DC DG Khan, Addl. CS (South Punjab), Addl. IG (South Punjab) and others were also present.
