LAHORE:Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has termed corruption a big social evil and dacoity on public rights.
In his message on Thursday, the CM said the PTI has come into power to eliminate corruption in society. There is no room for the corrupt and the government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, he emphasized. The PTI-led government is committed to introducing transparency in every sector of life as the government has brought the big fish under the net of the law. The huge corruption made in the past has ruined the country, he lamented.
The Anti-Corruption Established has been made an autonomous body that has ensured sufficient improvement in it. We should commit today to honestly work to eradicate corruption in the society, the CM concluded. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has said electricity-deprived areas of Cholistan, Thal and Koh-e-Suleman would be electrified with solar energy and this beneficial facility would also be extended to hundreds of villages in phases.
While chairing a meeting in which the energy secretary briefed about the progress, the CM gave in-principle approval to convert backward areas’ mosques on solar energy in phases. The CM would inaugurate the first off-grid solution (solar energy) project next month to help electrify remote areas. This facility would ease the daily life of the people living in remote and far-flung areas; he maintained and added that the incumbent government was working to produce affordable electricity. The past government set up expensive energy projects which burdened the people, he added.
