Lahore: Amir Dogar MNA and a group of elected representatives called on Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar in Multan and extended Eid greeting to him. They also discussed progress on the Multan development package and the anti-coronavirus drive being run in the province. The CM stated that government machinery is fully active to deal with the coronavirus pandemic and added that a multilayered strategy has been evolved to deal with locust attack and coronavirus pandemic in Punjab. The people should wholly follow necessary precautions to remain safe from coronavirus, he added. Usman Buzdar maintained the opposition leaders have, even, tried to divide the nation over coronavirus pandemic. In the prevailing circumstances, the opposition is playing the role of a political ‘locust’ and the nation is disappointed with its negative attitude. It is regrettable that opposition even tried to politicize the coronavirus issue because it has no anti-coronavirus plan, he asserted and further said that it is engrossed in making tall claims. On the other side, the citizens have appreciated the timely steps taken by the government. The government is aptly dealing with different challenges and every challenge will be overcome with the cooperation of the people, the CM concluded.
