Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has issued strict directives following the tragic death of a three-year-old girl in Faisalabad. The Chief Minister announced that housing society owners may face arrest if any citizen falls into an open manhole, emphasizing zero tolerance for negligence in public safety.
She directed all divisional commissioners across Punjab to collect monthly affidavits from private housing societies, confirming that all manholes are properly covered and secured. In addition, official notices will be issued throughout the province to ensure full compliance with public safety standards.
During a review meeting on ongoing development projects, the Chief Minister stressed the importance of active field monitoring by government officials instead of relying solely on desk work. She also approved several welfare initiatives to be funded through district-level revenues.
