Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has said economic disparities are needed to be removed to alleviate poverty. In his message, the CM said poverty alleviation would help in overcoming intolerance in society because the unjustified distribution of resources widens economic gulf at the grassroots. The PTI government has a full understanding of issues faced by the poverty-stricken segments and different steps are taken to improve their quality of life, he added. The rich should also attend to this social issue and lend a helping hand to governmental efforts. This day encourages collective efforts to lessen the difficulties of the indigent strata and the nation should reiterate that all-out efforts would be made for the welfare of the hapless, concluded the chief minister.
