LAHORE: Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has sought 100pc performance from the bureaucracy in the implementation of the Nigehban Ramazan package.

“Whoever does not give 100pc result will be held answerable,” she told Punjab Chief Secretary Zahid Akhtar Zaman during her visit to Model Ramazan Bazaar Control Room at the Poonch House here on Sunday.

Ms Maryam observed both district and Punjabi Information Technology Board (PITB) dashboards developed for the purpose, besides reviewing the Qeemat App dashboard. She was briefed by the authorities concerned about the data displayed on these dashboards.

The CM stressed the importance of effective monitoring of the delivery of Nigehban Ramazan hampers at the doorstep of the beneficiaries, cautioning that she would not tolerate any obstruction or neglect in this regard.

She added that ‘District Score Cards’ would be developed on the basis of performance of the district administration in the delivery of Ramazan relief hampers and handling of other related issues and that marks would be deducted on the violation of the standard operating procedures (SOPs) in this regard.
