Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has opposed the decision of the federal government to have two weekly holidays, but he did not consider the fact that the Punjab Accountant General’s Office, which is run by the federal government, will remain closed for two days, leaving all Punjab government departments to virtually stop their operations, sources told Pakistan Today on Thursday.
All 36 districts of Punjab and their offices are at the mercy of the AG’s Office and would have no option but to wait it out every Saturday. The AG office is responsible for clearing cheques and payments of the Punjab government departments and every department of each district has to contact the AG Office to get payments cleared.
The Punjab Finance department coordinates with the AG Office, which is responsible for maintaining the accounts of the province and also disbursing the payments. Interestingly, all departments of the Punjab government have to contact the Punjab Finance Department and AG Office for getting their cheques cleared, but with the AG Office closed on Saturday, all departments would have to wait until the next working day for the same.
It is not good to have days official holidays per week. The government of zardari is advised to lessen foreign visits because his or other Federal govt member's visit to foreign country brings no fruit. it is also worthmentioning that one minister from KPK spent Rs 6700000 from Govt fund on his treatment in foreign country. Y zardari govt not investigate such issues for bright future of Pak
when you take a desicion you should think about all circom stances tow holidays are in the benifit of your provinece
C.M Is not normal person.Two days leave is necessary for all pakistan.But C.M is bitter with zardari govt,So he is not ready for 2 days leave.
Bahawalpur Alag ho kar hy Rahy ga Sary Gangy Sun lain.Dangay Brothran Nawaz Shabaz Agar Rasty main aye to inka nishan tak na rahy ga Dastan main. Shame 4 punjab GOVT.
The decision of two holidays in a week is necessary to be implemented as early as possible by all the provincial governments of Pakistan due to the ongoing prevailing circumstances i.e energy crisis and terrorist activities. It will not only equalize the demand and supply factors of electricity but also eliminate the economic burden on our economy too.
