Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar Thursday said the PTI has good relations with its allies and contrary to the wishes of the opponents; this alliance is stronger than before. "This alliance is in the larger interest of the country and the government is taking the allied parties along," he said, adding: "Hopes of those trying to create misunderstandings have been foiled and their designs have been badly failed."

He disclosed that administrative arrangements are ready for the establishment of Southern Punjab Secretariat while funds have been allocated and secretariat would be established soon.

The CM Usman Buzdar said the opposition has no agenda and political orphans should remember that the government will complete its turn and elections will be held at scheduled time. The government is stronger under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, he said, adding: "The public welfare is a priority agenda and no hurdle will be allowed in the journey of public service."

In a statement, the Punjab CM said the provincial government believes in the concept of composite development as it is the right of every area of the province. "Development projects have been designed keeping in view the needs of the people and consultation process has been started for the identification of development priorities," he said.

He emphasized that the development budget's utilization is better than the previous governments and added that criticizers should speak in the light of correct figures. He said the past government left several incomplete projects in Lahore and other districts while the incumbent government made payments of a number of projects of the previous tenure and got completed the public welfare projects by rising above prejudice.

The CM Usman Buzdar has nominated Aftab Ahmed as overseas Pakistanis' focal person for the UK. Chairman CM Complaint Cell has issued a notification. Aftab Ahmed will perform duties on honorary basis to help solve the problems of the Pakistanis and submit a report to the chief minister every month. Moreover, the CM Usman Buzdar has directed authorities concerned to initiate crackdown against the adulteration mafia.

"Necessary steps should be taken for food safety and eradication of adulteration," he said, adding: "The adulterers are playing havoc with the lives of the people and the government will go to every extent for the provision of pure food items to the citizens."
