The district development committee approved 17 projects costing Rs 150 million for the repair of existing roads and construction of new roads. The development committee that met here with DCO Iftikhar Babar in the chair also approved the purchase of modern machinery for the Wasa and sanctioned Rs 6.4 millions for this purpose.
The main object for the purchase of the machinery is to solve sewerage problems being faced by the people. The committee sanctioned Rs 2.8 million to upgrade Qadirpur Raan Rural Health Centre and set up a modern ICU of ten beds. The committee approved three other schemes for the construction of additional rooms at Government Girls Primary School Ghareebabad and three livestock schemes under which farmers will be provided buffaloes and Cholistani cows to the farmers at cheaper prices with a view to alleviating poverty.
The farmers will have to pay the prices of animals in easy instalments. The DCO directed the EDOs and officers concerned to complete development schemes on time.
