LAHORE : Ombudsman Punjab Ayesha Hamid called on Punjab Governor Sardar Saleem Haider at the Governor’s House on Friday.

Governor said that the Office of the Ombudsman Punjab is playing a vital role in ensuring speedy and inexpensive justice for the people, stressing that delayed justice is tantamount to denial of justice.

Ombudsman presented the institution’s Annual Report 2025 and briefed the governor on departmental performance, staff training initiatives, digitalisation measures and efforts aimed at enhancing institutional capacity.

Appreciating the performance of Ombudsman Punjab, Sardar Saleem said that when he assumed office, appeals against Ombudsman decisions had been pending in the Governor’s Office for the past three years. He added that those pending appeals were disposed of on a priority basis to provide timely relief to the public.
