He threatened that the engineers in the Punjab would resort to pen-down strike from the second week of November if their demand was not accepted. In search operations, teams of City, Kassesay, and Pindi Bhattian police stations have rounded up 27 criminals. The teams have also seized 400g of charas, illegal arms, and stolen articles from them. Cases were registered against them.
On the other hand, MNA Ch Shaukat Ali Bhatti assured the villagers that sui gas would be provided in every house in the district.
While addressing a gathering in Bagh Nau village where he inaugurated the supply of sui gas, he said that the district would be made a model district in the Punjab and all-out efforts would be made to mitigate their sufferings and to remove sense of derivation among them.
On the occasion, ex-MPA Mian Intisar Hussain Bhatti and Ch Sikandar Nawaz Bhatti of Burj Dara thanked him for providing sui gas to the villagers of Bagh Nau.
