Provincial Minister Information and Culture Mujtaba Shujjaur Rehman, who graced the event as a distinguished guest, said that the Punjab government has diverted the face of development projects towards Southern Punjab and revolutionary steps are being taken for the development and prosperity of Cholistan’s desert area. The minister said this while addressing the cultural and musical night held in connection with the 13th Cholistan Desert Jeep Rally in front of the Derawar Fort’s gate.
He said that the Cholistan is the carrier of more than 5,000 years old Hakra civilization and that it is the asset of Pakistan’s great archaeological heritage. He added that Cholistan’s hard-working people are a great asset to the country who have kept alive the thousands year old Cholistani civilization.
The minister said that the chief minister of Punjab has taken revolutionary steps to make it comparable to other parts of the country in the likes of road network, water supply schemes for the provision of clean water, construction of tobas for the storage of water, distribution of free cattle among Cholistanis for the development of livestock sector and established schools to spread the light of education to the remote areas of Cholistan.
