CM Maryam Nawaz directs immediate dispatch of relief supplies to Parachinar
\n Lahore
\nThe Punjab Cabinet has approved the dispatch of medicines and other supplies to Parachinar residents along with other developmental initiatives.
\nThe 21st meeting of the provincial cabinet was chaired by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
\nDuring the meeting, the Chief Minister instructed that relief supplies be sent immediately to Parachinar residents.
\nMaryam Nawaz stated that a mobile health unit would also be sent according to the needs of the Parachinar residents. She emphasised that the people of Parachinar are part of the nation and must not be left alone during hardships and crises.
\nThe provincial cabinet also congratulated Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif on her successful visit to China.
\nShe noted that the exceptional reception given to the delegation in China is a source of pride for the people of Punjab. She added that China\u2019s remarkable achievement in transforming its 1.6 billion population into a strength is an inspiring example of progress. \u201cWe, too, can achieve similar success through hard work,\u201d she said, mentioning how clean and organised China\u2019s schools, hospitals, and roads are.
\nMaryam Nawaz highlighted that the Chinese people\u2019s respect for authority and their unparalleled harmony are qualities worth emulating. She expressed her hope that Punjab continues to develop and prosper like China with each passing day.
\nEarlier the Adviser to the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Minister on Information, Barrister Dr. Saif, criticised the federal government for its alleged indifference to the escalating situation in Kurram, calling the government\u2019s response a mere \u201cspectacle\u201d from afar.
\n\u201cKurram is a border area, and the Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, also has responsibilities,\u201d he added, calling on Asif to focus on his duties rather than making provocative statements.
\nThe adviser also took a jab at the Prime Minister\u2019s office, stating that if the real Prime Minister, who he referred to as \u2018Form 45\u2019, were in charge, arrangements for an air ambulance would already have been made for Kurram. He contrasted this with what he described as the \u201cfake\u201d Prime Minister, referring to \u2018Form 47\u2019, who was preoccupied with false claims.
\nSaif further criticised the Punjab government, claiming that Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur had been using his own helicopter for emergency airlift operations in Kurram, while Maryam Nawaz\u2019s supposed promises of an air ambulance had yet to materialise.
\nOn Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur\u2019s directive, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s third consignment of essential medicines was airlifted to Kurram on Tuesday to address an acute shortage of emergency supplies.
\nUsing the provincial government\u2019s MI-17 helicopter, a two-month stock of medicines valued at Rs12.4 million, including emergency drugs and vaccines, was delivered. This initiative follows the closure of ground routes due to ongoing tensions.
\nTo date, emergency medicines worth Rs200 million have been transported to Kurram via helicopter. The supply operations are being monitored by the Chief Minister\u2019s health adviser and the provincial health secretary.
\nAdditionally, Faisal Abdul Sattar Edhi, chairman of the Abdul Sattar Edhi Foundation, reached the conflict-affected area with vital supplies after securing approvals from Prime Minister Mian Shehbaz Sharif and Interior Minister Mohsin Raza Naqvi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
