Govt making all-out efforts to provide relief to masses: PM

December 10, 2019: Prime Minister chaired a meeting of government's economic team in Islamabad says the government is trying its best to provide all-out relief to the public despite its limited resources in order to reduce the burden on people of poor and lower-income backgrounds. 

The Prime Minister said the multi-pronged program for social protection and poverty reduction dubbed 'Ehsaas' is a clear proof of the government's priorities.

He said the government is not only focused on overall economic development but also giving attention to administrative measures against hoarding and illegal profiteering to ensure the provision of essential items to people at reasonable rates.

Imran Khan said the aim of introducing technology in this regard is to promote transparency and eradication of corruption. 

Prime Minister regretted the baseless and misleading propaganda against important national issues like the national economy for personal interests. He said access to information by people should be ensured to counter such mafias.

The Prime Minister directed the government's economic team to apprise the people of every effort and progress for economic reform so that people reject the baseless propaganda themselves.

He also urged the team to resolve the issues on the economy on a priority basis so that the process of economic development continues without any hurdle.
