Sindh Information and Local Government Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah has said the provincial government has given full attention to three main government-run hospitals in Karachi, and, resultantly, the performance of these healthcare institutions has improved a lot.
Talking to media persons here on Tuesday, he said a fresh notification had been unduly issued to let the federal government assume the administrative control of these public sector hospitals just to ruin them.
Shah said the inefficiency of the federal government was known to everyone, as the âineligible rulersâ had failed in every sector. âThe recent countrywide electricity breakdown is just one more example as several cities in the country have been without electricity despite the passage of two days.â
Karachi: Fifty new fire engines purchased by the federal government for Karachi from China will arrive in the city by the middle of January 2021 to beef-up its fire fighting system.
The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has termed these new fire engines as a gift of Prime Minister Imran Khan for people of the city. The PM earlier this year announced a historic Rs 1,100 billion development package for the city after much of its civic infrastructure was devastated in the torrential monsoon rains.
Chairing a meeting of the Sindh Industrial Liaison Committee at the Governor House, Sindh Governor Imran Ismail said that out of these 50 new fire engines, two each would be given to every industrial area of the city.

Further issues were voiced regarding wrong roll numbers, names and locations of the candidates. This created a quandary among students and parents in all four provinces. Many parents
