LAHORE: The PTI-led government inherited liabilities of Rs1,300 billion when it came into power in 2018.
This was said by Chief Minister Usman Buzdar in a statement on Tuesday. He said the past rulers abandoned 4,000 incomplete schemes and cheques valuing Rs56 billion were bounced due to lack of cash cover as the past rulers left a drained-out treasury. Meanwhile, the past government took overdrafts of Rs 41 billion, he maintained. He said the past government, intentionally, left various schemes incomplete including the new Punjab Assembly building, Wazirabad Institute of Cardiology, Trimmu Thermal Power Project, Pakpattan Hydropower Project, Marala Hydropower Project, PKLI and Orange Line Metro Train, etc.
