Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has directed to make best arrangements for the conventions while every possible facility will be provided to the Sikh visitors. He said that Rs 150 million have been spent on repair and maintenance of roads in Nankana Sahib and this would facilitate the Sikh pilgrims visiting their holy place.
He said that foundation stone of Baba Guru Nanak University in Nankana Sahib is a self-evident proof of religious tolerance and harmony, as the government of Pakistan is providing all sorts of facilities to the Sikhs and other religious minorities.
Talking to different delegations of the people, here Thursday, the CM Usman Buzdar said that direction of resources has been turned towards backward areas as the far-flung localities remained deprived of development due to the wrong priorities of the past rulers.
"The country was deviated from its destination due to wrong policies of the past rulers and enmity was made with the nation by wasting national resources on exhibitory projects," the CM said, adding: "The past rulers, altogether, ignored the fundamental problems of the people who yearned for their basic needs." Usman Buzdar said that the PTI government is rectifying past mistakes and the development projects are designed according to the real needs of the people because the government believes in composite development. He said that development and prosperity are the fundamental right of everyone and composite strategy has been evolved for solving problems of the people in their districts. "I am personally monitoring the projects launched for the development of backward areas and the deprivations will be turned into the prosperity of the people," the chief minister added.
Moreover, the Punjab government has decided to devise the latest monitoring system for early solution of public complaints and Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has given approval to it.
The CM maintained that latest monitoring system will be launched from Lahore and the performance of PHA, LWMC, LDA and WASA will be monitored initially. This system will be extended to other cities and departments in phases and data regarding departmental performance and redressal of public complaints will be collected.
The chief minister also directed the urban unit to develop the mobile application and said the new system should be innovative and unique and effective mechanism should be designed to implement it.
