him for granting the alcohol permit, the CM completely declined it and named it
a claim to censure his notoriety. The CM said that he is running issues of the
CM's office as per business rules and guidelines.
In any case, when the specialists went up against him about various
issues and asked him that as per what rules, he has offered endorsement to such
works, the CMwas unfit to clarify business leads in such manner.

Tourist Services Punjab under the Pakistan Hotels and Restaurant Act 1976 and Rule

of the Unicorn Prestigious Hotel from the Department of Tourist Services
Punjab.

said.

are perfect and he will introduce his perspective at whatever point called.
