He said due to timely and effective steps of the government as well as all out cooperation of the people, encouraging results are being witnessed in the anti-dengue campaign.

The Chief Minister was talking to assembly members of various districts, here today. He said that it is the responsibility of the citizens to keep their streets, localities and surroundings neat and clean as there is a need for collective and coordinated efforts to eliminate dengue larvae. He said that government machinery alongwith elected representatives would play an active role in the drive for elimination of dengue larvae on Sunday in order to rid the country of this deadly disease. He said that all necessary steps are being taken to ensure eradication of dengue larva through eradication of the breeding places of dengue mosquito. He said that similar zeal and enthusiasm is required which was displayed by the government officials on Anti-dengue Day, and by eliminating the deadly mosquito, we must perform our duty to protect human lives. The Chief Minister said that with the grace of Allah Almighty, due to vigorous efforts of the government and cooperation of the masses, dengue has been controlled to a large extent while efforts in the right direction are continuing.

The Chief Minister said that elected representatives should continuously review the steps taken in their respective areas for eradication of dengue while strict action should be taken against the absent staff. He said the Punjab government is following a revolutionary programme of welfare and uplift of the masses because the basic agenda of Pakistan Muslim League-N is to serve the people. He said the Punjab government has diverted resources towards the welfare of the poor people, however, regrettably the corrupt, incompetent and cruel rulers of Islamabad have shown criminal negligence towards solving people’s issues and snatched from them their happiness. He said that time of departure of Ali Baba Forty Thieves has come near as those who gave the country loadshedding and unemployment have lost the right to rule and people are now determined to remove such elements from power. He said the people are suffering because of the misdeeds of the federal government, however, this situation will not continue any longer. He said that if people gave Pakistan Muslim League-N the mandate to serve them the destiny of Pakistan would be changed under the dynamic leadership of Muhammad Nawaz Sharif.

They said due to untiring efforts of Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, the threat of dengue has been minimized and, Inshaallah, dengue would be defeated under the dynamic leadership of Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif.
