Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has said that we would not let the progress journey of Punjab halt and added that consultations of assembly members will be given due importance in development projects.
He was talking to Federal Minister Sahibzada Mehboob Sultan and Punjab Assembly members in which matters pertaining to mutual interests and political situation came under discussion. Development projects and problems of various constituencies were also discussed during the meeting.
Usman Buzdar said that the journey of making real progress in Punjab has set off and lamented that show off was done in the past instead of doing progress. The CM underscored that those hatching conspiracies will lag behind as before and new Pakistan will keep on advancing forward under the vibrant leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
He censured that elements doing undue criticism are creating obstacles in the journey of progress from the outset. He regretted that such elements caused immense loss to the national interests for the sake of their vested interests. He vowed that under construction projects of health and education will be completed on priority basis.
The Punjab Assembly members who called on the CM included Rana Shahbaz Ahmed, Syed Abbas Shah, Muhammad Ali Qureshi and Sahibzada Ghazeen Abbasi.
The CM paid a surprise visit to various areas of Lahore without protocol. Usman Buzdar reviewed the current situation arising out of torrential rain and windfall without security. He inspected water drainage arrangements being made at Jail Road, Mall Road, Lawrence Road and other areas.
He expressed his satisfaction over consolidated arrangements being made for water drainage. He expressed his indignation after seeing stagnant water lying in few areas and issued on the spot directions to the WASA officials for water drainage.
Usman Buzdar emphasized that it is our basic responsibility to resolve problems of the citizens and assured that we are standing by the Lahorites and will continue to do so.
The sincere endeavours being made under the leadership of Chief Minister Usman Buzdar have started bearing fruits after seven decades with regard to the promotion of industries and trade along with making Punjab province a business hub of Pakistan.
Usman Buzdar said that within the short span of two years of PTI government, work on 13 special economic zones and industrial estates has started. He lamented that previous rulers only established three special economic zones during the last 73 years since the establishment of Pakistan so far.
He highlighted that we have introduced such reforms for the industrial sector in only two years which could not have been done in the next 70 years by those elements displaying pomp and show.
He informed that economic zones and industrial estates are being established on more than 10 thousand acres of land. He apprised that Allama Iqbal Industrial City to be established in Faisalabad stretches on more than three thousand acres of land. CM highlighted that employment opportunities for three lac youths will be generated directly from Allama Iqbal Industrial City.
He underscored that we are bringing international companies to Pakistan and one window system is being introduced in the industrial estates for their facilitation. He added that there will be capacity for setting up more than 550 industrial units in the industrial city.
