Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar said on Saturday, that he is available for public service any time and his doors are open for everybody and that he will resolve public problems at priority.

He said his ministers are also empowered as “we have given powers to ministers and every minister in Punjab has been given targets to complete them in time so that the people can get relief”.

He was talking to the people who arrived from various cities at CM Secretariat. The Punjab CM listened to the problems of more than 400 people and gave orders to resolve them. Speaking on the occasion, CM Sardar Usman Buzdar said his government will not leave any stone unturned to resolve problems of the people as providing facilities to the citizens is “our responsibility and we will discharge this responsibility with efficiency”. He said he remains in contact with the people whether it is morning or evening. In the past, only buildings were raised and no practical measure was taken to resolve problems of the people.

“We have changed this rotten system after coming into power,” he said adding that officers who resolve problems of the people will be encouraged and no negligence will be tolerated in this regard.

Member of National Assembly Haji Imtiaz Ahmed Chaudhry and former MNA Chaudhry Ejaz also called on CM Usman Buzdar.

Talking to them, the CM said the entire Pakistan and not just Punjab will be changed under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

“The government of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has started working to change this rotten system and reforms are being introduced in government departments to provide relief to the people,” he said adding that “we have come to work and shown to the people that we can work”.

The time of rhetoric has passed. He said the PTI has become the symbol of change and concerns of the common man have been kept in the budget and steps are being taken for improvement in education, health and social sectors. He also said that transparency, simplicity and austerity are hallmarks of the PTI government.

“We have done everything on merit and will do so in future as well. Corrupt elements have no room in the province. We have adopted zero tolerance policy against corruption,” he added.
