Provincial Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif on various occasions quite rightly keeps asserting that his government is utilising national resources on welfare and well-being of the people in the rural and urban areas of the province honestly and sincerely and saving billions of rupees through right use of the public money in a transparent manner.
According to the reports in the newspapers, the Chief Minister while talking to a delegation of party leaders and workers which called on him in Lahore the other day that his government has saved as huge as Rs 220 billion in the implementation of different projects in the province so far and thus set a new tradition with regard to saving of public money and utilising it as sacred trust.
Quite obviously if the provincial government has saved huge amount of Rs 220 billion in implementation of different development projects , the money so saved will now be utilised for financing some other public welfare initiative to which the government stands committed. Saving the public money in this manner and utilising the saved money on some other welfare project is something quite commendable, indeed.
