LAHORE: Provincial Minister for Local Bodies Mian Mehmood-ur-Rasheed has said the PTI government is taking all out measures to ensure the provision of clean drinking water to the citizens of provincial metropolis.

He regretted that the past political jugglers continued to deceive the people while doing nothing for the provincial metropolis. The political juggler wasted billions of rupees on their personal projection but now the people have understood their reality.

Member Governing Body LDA Tariq Sana Bajwa said the LDA was serving the people while following the vision of the chief minister.
