The chief minister expressed concern over the situation in the prisons, hospitals and educational institutions and said he would undertake surprise visits to taluqa headquarters, towns and cities and take action on public complaints.

He said he would travel by helicopter and land at any place without any prior programme to evaluate performance of the officials.

He said information technology would be spread to the far-flung areas.

The chief minister received a large number of complaints from people and issued orders.

A number of Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-i-Azam) workers also met the chief minister and informed him of their problems.
