Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif presided over a meeting to review progress on Saaf Pani Programme. Addressing the meeting, the Chief Minister said that potable water was an important component of life and for this purpose a mega project had been evolved to provide clean drinking water to the citizens. Saaf Pani Programme is a splendid project of public welfare, which directly links to the human health as polluted water becomes a source of spreading diseases.

He said by learning lessons from the past mistakes we had to move forward this programme in a professional way because nothing is more important than the provision of clean drinking water to the masses. He said Saaf Pani Programme will be extended in a phased manner. In the first phase, Saaf Pani Programme has been initiated from South Punjab and there is need for quality and speed work for the implementation of this programme elsewhere. Minister for Housing Syed Haroon Sultan Bukhari, Chairman Punjab Saaf Pani Company South Chaudhry Arif Saeed, Chairman P&D, Secy Housing, CEO Punjab Saaf Pani Company North, and other concerning officials attended the meeting.
