The Punjab government has prepared a comprehensive plan of development of Northern Lahore under which besides construction and expansion of roads, facilities of provision and drainage of water would be increased. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader, Hamza Shahbaz Sharif MNA said this while inaugurating eight development projects at Mian Muhammad Aslam Road in UC-12 Datanagar Badami Bagh.
Hamza said the Punjab government would provide clean environment to its citizens which will help improve living standard of the masses while best medical and educational facilities would also be made available to them, he added. Provincial Minister for Excise and Taxation Mian Mujtaba Shuja ur Rehman, MPAs Khawaja Salman Rafiq, Chaudhry Shahbaz, Nazims and Naib Nazims, DCO Lahore Sajjad Bhutta, elite of the are and a large number of PML workers were also present on the occasion.
Hamza said that government is making efforts for bringing backward areas at par with the developed ones so that people of these areas could also benefit from the fruits of development. He said that NA-119 is like his own home and that is why he is starting the development work from this constituency under his own supervision. He said that an amount of Rs 180 million would be spent for construction of 7-km long eight roads, restoration of sewerage system and provision of potable water in Data Nagar. He said that these development projects would be completed within seven months, which would resolve the problems of the area.
He further said that now the public money is being spent on the uplift of living standard of common man rather than on luxuries of rulers. He said that Punjab government has always given priority to the service of poor masses because it is our vision. Provision of daily use items and atta at cheaper rates in Ramzan and Sunday Bazaars and tandoori roti at Rs 2 through subsidy of billions of rupees are proof of the fact that the provincial government is poor-friendly in real sense, he said.
He said that employment package for unemployed persons would be announced after Eid. He said that Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has helped the oppressed through open courts. He said that PML-N would improve the living standard of the people, which is the real essence of democracy.
Addressing on this occasion, Provincial Excise and Taxation Minister Mian Mujtaba Shuja ur Rehman said that Mian Shahbaz Sharif considers himself as "Chief Servant" of the people instead of ruler and he is serving the people day and night. He told that more than Rs 500 million are being spent on the development works in Northern Lahore.
