LAHORE, April 8: Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has said the PTI-led government allocated a 32% jobs quota for south Punjab and made the south Punjab secretariat financially and administratively independent.
In a statement issued on Friday, the CM told the government has given 35% development budget to south Punjab and ring-fenced it to avoid reappropriation of funds. Similarly, he added that a separate book was also compiled to detail its share of the development budget. He explained that backward south Punjab districts were equally treated in the journey of development as development is the right of the people. It is sanguine that south Punjab has joined the journey of development because more development funds were provided to it than in the past to heal the sense of deprivation, he concluded.-PR
