The Cabinet Minister said that the Public Grievance Meeting Programme initiated by the Punjab Government aims to bring the government closer to the people and ensure that citizens' problems are resolved promptly without unnecessary delays.
He informed that he is visiting different villages of his constituency every day to interact directly with the public, enabling on-the-spot resolution of their grievances.
