Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Monday urged Deputy Commissioners (DCs) to strictly uphold law and order, protect the rights of all people, including minorities and strengthen market monitoring across the country to keep prices stable and give people comfort.
While inaugurating the three-day DCs Conference at Shapla Hall in his office, the chief adviser reaffirmed the government's commitment to safeguarding minority rights.
“The responsibility of the government is to ensure protection for all. Also, our responsibility is to protect the rights of minorities,” he said, encouraging minority communities to exercise their rights with confidence as citizens of the country.

The Chief Adviser said maintaining law and order is the government's top priority and the DCs must ensure there are no lapses in this regard.
Dr Yunus emphasised that governance is a collective effort, likening it to a team where every member’s efficiency contributes to overall success.
He stressed the need for coordination between the police and civil administration, urging them to maintain discipline in their duties.
On market regulation, Dr Yunus proposed a ranking system to recognise DCs' contributions to market monitoring. Competitions among districts could enhance supervision and improve market conditions, he said.
