Sindh probationary officers meet Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz, praise Punjab’s work

LAHORE: Probationary officers from Sindh paid tribute to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz during a meeting at the Chief Minister’s House. Women officers from Sindh called her a role model.

Officers’ views

Probationary officer Dilrukh Sehra said every woman in Pakistan is proud of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.

Abdul Ghaffar said that on coming here he saw that the people of Punjab appeared content and happy. Zara said work is visible everywhere, it pleases the heart, and Pakistan should have been like this.

One officer said that, seeing the tree plantation and greenery in Lahore, she wished Sindh would become like this too. She said her mother is an admirer of Maryam Nawaz and that the meeting was an honour.

Another probationary officer said every system in Punjab has been connected and integrated through artificial intelligence. She liked the Sahulat Bazaar very much, where all items are available at low prices and there is an excellent mechanism down to the grassroots level. She said they would learn from Punjab and apply it in their own province.

Hina said Maryam Nawaz is an inspiration for her and a symbol of women’s empowerment, and that making her place in a male-dominated society is worth emulating.

Abdul Jabbar said the way she has set her priorities for serving the people is commendable. Tania Ansari said meeting such a personality is an honour. A woman officer recited an Urdu and English poem saying that the fragrance of Lahore’s soil is the identity of Punjab.

Chief Minister’s advice

Maryam Nawaz advised the trainee officers to value suggestions, take decisions and ensure implementation. She also described the secret of good governance: a clear stance, courage and decisiveness.

Sindh probationary officers Fatima Shakeel and Rida presented the Chief Minister with a traditional Sindhi shawl. Maryam Nawaz expressed delight at seeing a portrait of Moenjodaro and had it put up in her office.

The delegation of Sindh’s Common Training Programme was shown a special documentary on the projects. Punjab Chief Secretary Zahid Akhtar Zaman briefed them on the projects.

Information Minister Azma Zahid Bokhari made a live call to 15 to let the participants observe the process. The delegation included officers from local government, the Sindh provincial service and other departments. Maryam Nawaz also had a group photograph taken with the members of the delegation.
