ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif approved on Tuesday the allocation of Rs8 billion for the construction of 1,000 schools for 200,000 shelter-less children in earthquake-affected areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Azad Kashmir.
Schools will be constructed in Shangla, Kohistan, Battagram, Abbottabad, Mansehra and other areas.
The premier has directed the Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA) to ensure the completion of the project in one year.
“We will not only make a roshan Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa but also a roshan Pakistan. Our focus is on development of Pakistan, and nation will see a better and prosperous Pakistan by the year 2018.” PM Nawaz said.

If PML-N does good governance, I will become their supporter and vote for them. I don’t take Imran Khan as a good leader any way any more (the man has lost it unfortunately) but I hope IK is soon replaced by Asad Umer as party head and the whole Pakistan can prosper with PML-N and PTI doing good service.
Good going Nawaz Sharif!
I became a PTI supporter just because all others weren't doing any good. If PML-N does good governance, I will become their supporter and vote for them.
