PML-N efforts to end energy crisis bear fruit: CM

LAHORE, Mar 25 (APP):Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said that sincere efforts of Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) government to end energy crisis in the country have borne fruit.
Talking to a delegation of PML-N workers in London on Sunday,
he said that with the completion of energy projects and addition
of thousands of megawatts of electricity to the national grid, the
country had been pulled out of the darkness and load-shedding had
been ended once and for all.
He said by overcoming the energy crisis, Pakistan had become
economically strong and it would help eradicate poverty, ignorance
and unemployment from the country. He said the nation would always remember this great service rendered by the PML-N government in a short span of time.
While mentioning the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)
project, which is an emblem of eternal friendship between the
two neighbouring countries, the CM said; “It is a great plan for
development and prosperity of Pakistan and this project is
truly a game-changer which will not only be profitable for
Pakistan but also for the whole region.
“The CPEC has opened the doors on foreign investment in
Pakistan and its projects will also help people in Gilgit-Baltistan
and Azad Kashmir along with the four provinces,” he added.
He said that CPEC projects would change the destiny of the
country and the nation as they were heading towards completion
rapidly and the whole world was surprised over their rapid and
transparent completion.
Moreover, he added, Chinese investment worth billions of
rupees had created vast employment opportunities for the
people of Pakistan. Enormous projects of energy, infrastructure
and industrial cooperation have been incorporated in CPEC, which
were moving forward swiftly.
Shehbaz Sharif said that China had invested $36 billion in
energy projects, which shows its confidence in the leadership
and policies of the Muslim League government. He hoped that
the Corridor would start a new era of economic and social
development, and Pakistan would become central hub for commercial and economic activities.
He said that CPEC plan would alter the mode of history and we
would not allow any conspiracy to succeed against it. He said
that adversaries of CPEC were actually enemies of Pakistan
while our friends are very happy with this great project.
Due to solid economic policies of the PML-N, the country
is moving on the path to development as the government has
promoted the culture of transparency, merit, standard and
timely completion of development projects in the country, he
added.
The CM said that the PML-N had written a new history by
ensuring transparency and judicious use of resources. He
said that every penny of the national wealth was being used
honestly in the welfare programme. Even the international
institutes acknowledged the transparency in development
projects of the government, he added.
Shehbaz said that development strategy of the PML-N
government was proving fruitful and completion of projects
worth billions of rupees were giving relief to the people.
He said that the PML-N government was committed to making
Punjab an ideal province in term of education and health
provision to people at their doorsteps.
Furthermore, he shared that performance of the Punjab
province in the fields of education, health and other sectors
were not only being applauded within country but also by
the foreign institutions.
