CM Maryam Nawaz says other provinces making efforts to catch up with Punjab

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday said she worked 16 hours a day without taking any break, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Addressing the function held in connection with the launch of ‘Apni Chat, Apna Ghar’ scheme, she said neither she take rest not let members of her team take rest. “That’s why Punjab is ahead of other provinces in every field. Other provincial governments are trying to catch up with us,” Maryam claimed.

She announced that the Punjab government would give Rs1.5 million in loan to each person owning a piece of land for the construction of a house. “The person will have to repay the loan in installments; Rs14,000 every month, without interest during the next seven years,” she said, adding there were no taxes, no hidden charges included in these loans.

“Dial 080009100 for further information,” she said.  

The chief minister informed the provincial government was going to launch the world’s largest solar project in order to resolve the power crisis for good.

An interesting situation developed during the ceremony when a woman stood up and said most of the people were still to be allotted homes under the Shehbaz Sharif scheme. “It is all a political gimmick. I have been struggling for justice for the last so many years,” she said.
