He further said people of Gujrat were their benefactors and they did not forget their benefactors and colleagues. Commenting on the new federal budget and Punjab budget, Parvez Elahi said that these have unleash a vicious cycle of soaring prices of essential articles, including eatables and other daily use items, electricity, gas, petrol, diesel and even transport fares have been increased unilaterally. He said that besides daily use items, other service bills were also touching the sky, as rents of shops, houses and buildings were also increasing each days. Elahi said that a meager allocation of Rs 10 lakhs had been made in the new provincial budget for the established Wazirabad Cardiology Hospital as a result of which it was impossible to make it functional even this year.
