ISLAMABAD, March 10: Prime Minister Imran Khan has inaugurated Ehsaas District Development Portal titled ‘Data4Pakistan’ where he reiterated that the federal government’s top mission is to fight poverty in the country, sources reported on Tuesday.
PM Imran Khan said the government is taking serious steps to alleviate poverty and also thanked Special Assistant on Social Protection and Poverty Alleviation Dr Sania Nishtar and her team over initiating a range of programmes for public welfare.
While criticising the destructive policies of the past rulers, the premier said that the previous government had spent a huge portion of Punjab’s budget on Lahore as 55 per cent expenditures were made in the provincial capital which deprived other parts of the province.
“Data4Pakistan will assist the government to find the areas where the allocation of funds is necessary. In past, development budget had been used on the instructions of influential persons where policymakers did not know about when and where to spend public funds.”-Agencies
