They also informed him that unbridled price hike had made life of the masses hell and the people. The people had been facing salary cuts and many had been losing their jobs, they said.

According to the sources, the MPAs said that the situation was worsening with every passing day and no action had been taken to deal with these issues. The local bodies' elections would be tough for the PTI due to inflation and unemployment, they said. At this, Punjab CM assured the MPS that their genuine work pending with the bureaucracy would be cleared soon. The Punjab CM also assured that the the women assembly members would also be given their due rights.

The MPAs said that the government must ensure relief to public in real terms and the bureaucracy must be directed to listen to thier matters for timely solution of the peoples' problems. On it, he would observe a zero-tolerance policy for corruption at all costs. He asked the MPAs to identify corruption and also assured them of immediate action against the corrupt. The sources said that Mr. Buzdar said the Punjab government had decided that the Village Panchayat elections would be held in March. The local government was making arrangements in this regard, they added.
