A new process of contact with government officials has been started through video conferencing for the first time in Punjab.

Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif directly received information about the steps taken with regard to possible floods in the province and issued on the spot directions through video conferencing with divisional commissioners, the irrigation minister and officials concerned.

In this way, Punjab has become the first province which has made positive progress towards good governance by promoting E-governance.

“Video conference is considered an effective and modern source of communication. Through video conferencing, not only is the time of travelling of officials concerned reduced, but fuel is also saved,” the official press release of the Punjab information department stated.

Shahbaz will soon hold a second video conference in which he will directly contact the officials concerned to be acquainted with the progress on the ongoing campaign against electricity and gas thieves, the resolution of the energy crisis and other issues
