The adviser also stressed the need for transparency and urged officials to move away from a culture of self-praise.
Additionally, he instructed them to take necessary steps to reduce railway expenditure.
The student movement, which played a pivotal role in bringing the current government to power, was driven by a strong desire for change, he said.
"The students and the public made significant sacrifices, reflecting their commitment to reform," he added.
Khan further said the consequences would be severe if the government fails to meet expectations, particularly as the current administration has a stronger mandate than any previous
government, given the widespread public dissatisfaction with past corruption, nepotism, and irregularities.
