Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has imposed a ban on all appointments and transfers across the Punjab. The notification for the appointments and transfers ban has been issued and it will be made affective and letter and spirit.
For the transfers and appointments special permission will have to be taken from the Chief Minister House.
Newly elected Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has extended an olive branch to the opposition, saying that the doors of her office and heart were open 24 hours for them.
Speaking on the floor of the assembly in her first speech as the chief minister, Maryam thanked God and congratulated the speaker and deputy speaker on assuming their respective offices. “I hope that under your leadership, the House will hold democratic values high,” she stressed.
She also said that she regretted the absence of the opposition members, saying she wished they were here. “Being democratic workers, we understand how important it is to compete in politics.

She said she wished the opposition members were present to create commotion during her speech.
“I am a chief minister for everyone, including those who did not vote for me. The doors of my office and the doors of my heart are always open for the opposition,” she remarked.
Maryam further thanked the members of the allied parties, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), PML-Q and PML-Zia.
