He said the writ of the government would be restored at all costs and no one would be allowed to damage property or take the law into his hands.

He urged people to help the government in flushing out terrorist and extremist elements threatening the society.

He said the country was economically stable and all the ongoing projects, including those pertaining to water and sanitation, communications infrastructure and power would be completed ahead of schedule.
