ISLAMABAD, Dec 7: The prime minister has directed all federal ministries and divisions to immediately submit a list of achievements made in their respective areas in the first 100 days of the government so as to launch a media campaign.

Informed sources told Dawn on Tuesday that the move would counter a negative perception in certain quarters about the ineffectiveness of the government by presenting facts and figures before the nation.

The sources said that a letter had been written to the ministers to list inaugural events of important projects, major policy decisions and other achievements in all sectors.

A focal point has been created at the Prime Minister Secretariat under the minister of state and secretary-general of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League, Senator Tariq Azeem, to prepare a comprehensive report on the achievements of the first 100 days of the government.
