RAWALPINDI:
Federal government has approved a fund of Rs 5 billion 300 million for former minister Sheikh Rasheed’s 10-year-old, 400 bed impending project of a gynae hospital.
Commission wants master plan approved as soon as possible to save water
These funds will be released in July with the commencement of new fiscal year. The fund has also been included in the federal budget. The hospital is being constructed in place of old TB hospital; Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed laid the foundation of this hospital. PMLN former MNA Malik Shakeel Awan affirming the approval of funds told that Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi upon his request has allotted the fund. This hospital belongs to the city locals, we’re serving the city beyond politics.
Former federal minister not even once presented movement for the release of fund for this incomplete project in the national assembly, we will hopefully complete this project in the new fiscal year.
