He announced that necessary resources would gradually be provided to city wardens department. However, the wardens to discharge their duties with responsibility, courteously and with good attitude.
He made it clear that empty handed wardens don't cause harm to any one and rather they don't sleep in the nights and helps the citizens in rains, emergencies and accidents like the Haq Parasts so that people could live in peace at their homes. 'Our this attitude, converted opposition into recognition and this is our success.'
Nazim advised the City Wardens to demonstrate an exemplary discipline, be courteous to people, respect them and keep themselves away from ills and discharge their duties not as a job but as a service and set such examples of image building and services that may force the other city and district governments to follow your suit and establish this department.
