“Names of the Sindh government and Sindh police should be printed on banners,” the order read.
In October 2018, Punjab Finance Minister Makhdoom Hashim Jawan Bakhat had said that in the past, costly programmes were initiated in the name of development which were actually meant for personal publicity of the former rulers, citing that the claimant of ‘public service’ (PML-N government) had termed ‘Orange Line Metro Train’ as their pride but the project has now become a burden.
“The former government declared that OLMT would cost Rs165billion, now almost Rs250billion have been spent and the project is still incomplete,” the minister had said.
