RAWALPINDI:

Government will extend provision of basic civic amenities to the rural areas of Rawalpindi division, Minister for Aviation Ghulam Sarwar Khan on Saturday.

“It is the prime duty of government to provide all basic facilities of life to people,” he said inaugurating development projects at Dhok Imam Din Union Council Kalial.

The projects include gas supply schemes in Dhok Meera, Bilal Colony, Kashmir Colony and Satti Town which would be completed at the cost of Rs32 million.

The minister reiterated PTI government's stance to raise the living standard of common man, especially in rural areas through provision of all basic facilities at their doorstep.

"We believe in the politics of principle and service, instead of politics for acquiring personal gains,” he said adding that those elected from this constituency in the past did not even know that how many union councils are there in it.

He announced that a community centre and water scheme at the cost of Rs440 million would be launched soon.

“Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is not a challenge for us, he said adding, the only challenge for us is unemployment and inflation which will be overcome soon” Sarwar said.

He said Nawaz Sharif, who had remained prime minister three times went abroad after making agreement.

Sarwar said previous rulers did nothing other than to follow policy of looting and plundering national wealth, adding that they would be made accountable to public for their misdeeds.

He said according to Bilawal's statement, Nawaz Sharif made a personal statement from the PDM platform which proved that opposition is not at odds with each other.

The Minister said losers have entered the field under the name of PDM but they would never succeed in their nefarious designs and government of PTI would continue its struggle for a stable, prosperous and strong Pakistan.
