Chief Minister Punjab Mian Shahbaz Sharif has said that latest increase in the petroleum products and electricity load shedding is the result of the massive corruption and luxuries of the government, adding that he is seeing the bloody revolution at the door of the country.
He said that the massive load shedding of electricity in Lahore and Punjab is the big conspiracy against the efforts done by the Punjab government to overcome dengue fever, adding that I appeal Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani to take action against the load shedding being observed in Punjab for 14 hours a day.
Talking to media persons during the awareness campaign against dengue, Shahbaz Sharif said that the costly machines which were exported from the foreign countries to overcome the dengue epidemic are being gutted due to massive load shedding.
He said that thousands lives have been saved with the blessings of Almighty Allah and with the efforts of the doctors and nurses, adding that the efforts of doctors who are working day and night in the service of the patents should be appreciated so that they could work ,more vigorously, adding that the media is playing very vital role for creating awareness in masses against dengue but it is not appreciating the efforts of doctors who are working day and night in the service of the suffering humanity.
Shahbaz said that the awareness campaign is more important than the treatment of the disease, adding that a team of doctors of Indonesia has been reached in Lahore and I have meeting with the team and know this team would visit hospitals and would trained the doctors against the disease.
He said that the massive load shedding is a big joke with the efforts of Punjab government against dengue, adding that he records severe protest against the issue and request to prime minister for immediately taking notice against the electricity load shedding because the load shedding is creating hurdles in the efforts to overcome the disease.
He said in daily meetings it is being told that machines are being gutted in hospitals due to the load shedding, adding that the Punjab government would leave no stone unturned to overcome the dengue virus.
e said that the whole nation would have to play its due role in efforts to overcome the dengue fever.
He questioned that weather the lives of the people have become so cheaper that the electricity is not available to save the lives of the dengue patients, adding that the industry and agriculture of the country already have been destroyed due to load shedding of electricity and now by doing massive load shedding the patients are being died.
He said that all the people of the society including doctors, nurses, paramedical staff, young doctors, municipal staff, teachers, laborers, students, politicians, businessmen and all walks of the life should have to perform their due role to overcome the epidemic. (SANA)
