ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday laid the foundation stone for various development projects in Chakwal city of Punjab worth Rs 15 billion.
These projects include Chakwal University, 500-bed hospital, a Law College and the Ring Road project. The visit to Chakwal is part of the government’s agenda to launch development projects across the country and give special attention to the less-developed districts ignored in the past.
Special Assistant to the Punjab Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan earlier said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) government believes in practical service of people through development projects. She said people across Punjab are getting benefits of the equal development policy of the provincial government.
“Unlike the showmen of the past, the Chief Minister of Punjab believes in genuine public service as evidenced on an equal footing across the province. There are ongoing development projects,” she wrote in a tweet.

Awan said that the 11-party alliance made tall claims about the long march and resignations, but all of that was buried in the ground. “As soon as two resignations reached the speaker of the assembly, PDM members got worried,” she maintained.
Taking a jibe at PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, she said that instead of celebrating his birthday, his party should tell us about his return. “Courts are calling you, you should be back soon,” Awan said rergarding Nawaz Sharif who is currently in London.
