Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, popularly known as Shahbaz Speed and Khadim Aala, has lauded the exceptional performance of Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi in various sectors, including infrastructure projects, the health sector, and public service initiatives.
Mohsin Naqvi consistently remains at the forefront, dedicating himself to the welfare of the people.
With a keen eye on heavy rains and flood situations in Punjab, Mohsin Naqvi exhibited remarkable leadership by actively engaging the provincial machinery, tirelessly working in the field after the rains hit Lahore. His presence on the ground, mingling with relief workers involved in rescue operations, showcased his commitment to acknowledging their exceptional performance.
In a departure from the conventional approach of receiving briefings in the comfort of his office, Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi took personal action when India released water into the rivers. He visited affected areas, reviewing the flood situation of the Ravi River in Shahdara, and late at night, he reached Kasur when water levels rose in the Sutlej River. He also visited Ganda Singh and surrounding areas, lending an ear to the concerns of the people.
When floodwaters affected several areas around the Chenab River in Jhang, Mohsin Naqvi promptly arrived in the region, conducting an extensive three-hour visit to the affected areas and undertaking an aerial survey of the submerged villages. He attentively listened to the problems faced by the affected communities.
Recognizing the significance of the health sector, Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi prioritized its improvement, implementing numerous groundbreaking measures. Primary NGOs were made mandatory in hospitals throughout the province, and prophylactic centers for stroke patients were established. Additionally, preparations were underway to introduce the Health Management Information System in hospitals. Mohsin Naqvi personally reviewed the system at Mayo Hospital, Lahore's largest healthcare facility, where he received a comprehensive briefing and initiated revolutionary changes.
Furthermore, Mohsin Naqvi visited Jinnah Hospital, engaging with patients and inquiring about the medical facilities. Prompted by the concerns raised by the people, he took immediate action, replacing the Medical Superintendent (MS) on the spot. During his visit to DHQ Hospital Gujranwala, he met with patients and doctors who voiced their complaints. The Chief Minister expressed his anger at the situation, vowing not to tolerate any negligence. He swiftly identified the responsible person and replaced the Deputy MS.
Mohsin Naqvi's dedication extended to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC), where he made multiple visits within a few months, resulting in a significant improvement in treatment facilities. Notably, he also took measures to enhance facilities at Lady Willingdon Hospital.
Even during visits to flood-affected areas in Jhang, Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi actively engaged with the public, extending his support by arranging a boat for transportation across the water.
To provide relief to the citizens, the opening hours of the LDA One Window Sale were extended. Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced the new timings, from 9 AM to 9 PM, through a tweet.
Additionally, Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi set a timeline for the Lahore Walled City Authority to restore the historical gates of the city. The restoration project for the 12 historical gates of Lahore was thoroughly reviewed, accompanied by a proposal to create a park similar to Greater Iqbal Park near Noor Jahan Tomb and Jahangir Tomb, showcasing the commitment to preserving heritage sites.
Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi's unwavering dedication to public service, infrastructure development, heritage restoration, and flood management reflects his visionary leadership in transforming Punjab. His tireless efforts continue to pave the way for a brighter future, driving progress and uplifting the lives of the people.
