'Govt should share details of foreign aid for flood relief'
Shahbaz Sharif said that the federal government should share details of the foreign aid it has received.
Shahbaz Sharif said the Punjab government would spend Rs10 billion for the rehabilitation of flood victims.
LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that the federal government should share details of the foreign aid it has received for flood victims.
Addressing a press conference in Lahore, the chief minister said that Punjab will spend Rs10 billion for the rehabilitation of flood victims. This comes as Law Minister Babar Awan said that the Punjab government should first assess the devastation caused by the floods, before seeking funds from the federal government.
Speaking at the Lahore Press Club, Awan said Punjab had been given Rs480 billion in the budget, while another Rs95 billion were given under the NFC Award. But the Punjab government is still seeking Rs25 billion to cope with the floods.

We are very much critical about Politician but we should also appreciate their good deeds, Like Mr. Shahbas sharif is working for last many days for flood victims.Recommend
Punjab CM is the great man….He plays a wonderful role in this crucial time………Recommend
Both the leaders need to stop playing politics and should do somthing as almost half of the country is virtually underwater. Thousands of ppl r living in open and don’t have any food. These leaders have a duty to do. They need to get mature and instead of point scoring should work together to help those in need. This is not time to joke as our country is badly effecting otherwise let army do it if they are not mature enuff to handle things. Recommend
What he said is true, and god bless him for helping the poor flood victims!Recommend
PML(N)people are better thank PPP. Shahbaz Sharif sahib, please carry on. Our prayers are with you.Recommend
Its time The Tribune allowed swearing, at these corrupt and praise hungry politicians, on this forum.Recommend
we are facing a very BIG Prob and i am sure everyone is doing what they can do, i agree that Shahbaz Sharif is doing great day and night. what i cant understand, why he want to know about the financial and other details of foreign AID at this time.
does not it sound FISHY?Recommend
Oh please – how much accountability did the Sharif’s give the Pakistani public during their government tenure. Easy to pass the buck on and blame each other – do something independently for the country instead.Recommend
SHARIF BROTHERS STOP USING THE PUBLIC VEHICLES

Either you will remain fools or you will sacrifice and move up
People cannot see your faces and be happy, you have to provide reliefRecommend
Given the poor credibility and trust deficit, the flood relief funds should be put on the web, alonwith their disbursement. An independent committee be formed minus any crony, which should have men with impeccable record of integrity, so that more funds can be generated.Recommend
Shahbaz sahib tusi great oooo…
May God give you long life and energy to contenue your work.Recommend
