He said he would take every possible step to solve the problems facing government employees. Rind also promised to solve the problems of the secretariat mosque on a priority basis.

The chief secretary said it was the duty of the government to provide maximum facilities to its employees, but government employees should also perform their duties with honesty and sincerity.
