Just read @hasnain0099's reply in another thread and have found something interesting in his reply. I have a side question but since it better belong here, so I am asking it here..
As you have acknowledged these projects as being successful and important. The question I have is, what steps PML-N's govt have done to enhance these projects in past 5 years and to make them more efficient? Could you please tell how many new ambulances, rescue vehicles, fire brigade vehicles and equipment, and other community safety stuff is provided to 1122 in past 5 years? There was only one news back in mid or late 2012 where Shahbaz Sharif announced to raise salaries of 1122 employees. Please tell me when other steps has been taken in past 5 years in Punjab for 1122??
Just for record, we've recently seen just before election (right at the end of PML-N's 5 year term in Punjab) how rescue 1122 fire dept. miserably failed to control fire in LDA tower in Lahore (provincial capital) due to lake of equipment and other problems..

Well had they been sleeping in Punjab for last 5 years, they would not have been different from PPP in the elections. The stark reality of local body system is that while it devolved the power and funding, the performance of government was localized to nazims and naib nazims. Even today, the PML-Q is only credited for their mega projects like 1122, city wardens and cardio centre rather than the performance of local nazims during their tenure. Secondly micro development is unsustainable and often has lesser collective utility. While paving of local streets may help a certain locality but paving of a main road (which is not possible under the local system) helps many more. Plus more people enter the chain of funds deployment means more chances of corruption as well. Anyhow, the system suits those areas where communities are highly concentrated (e.g. Karachi,Hyderabad etc) so that the localized spending upon a certain community or area yields more political benefits than where the communities don't exist or are highly scattered
