The prime minister, in a meeting with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's members of the National Assembly (MNAs) from Dera Ghazi Khan, said the incumbent government had placed South Punjab high in the government's policies as the areas had been facing neglect during the previous governments.

The meeting was attended by Minister of State for Housing Muhammad Shabbir Ali, Special Assistant to Prime Minister Nadeem Afzal Gondal, and MNAs Makhdoom Basit Bukhari, Amir Talal Gopang, Niaz Ahmed Jhakar, Khwaja Sheraz Mehmood, Muhammad Amjad Farooq Khosa, Sardar Muhammad Khan Leghari, Sardar Nasrullah Khan Dareshak, Sardar Riaz Mahmood Khan Mazari and Malik Muhammad Amir Dogar.

The PM told the parliamentarians that the government was paying special focus on the construction of farm-to-market roads for the benefit of small farmers.

He resolved that the government would provide maximum relief to the people of South Punjab.
