Provision of basic facilities top priority: Gilani

Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani said the government is working on an extensive agenda for provision of basic facilities to the people in their localities. He was talking to delegations which came from Multan and other parts of the country here at the Prime Minister House on Thursday.
