Movement restricted: CM to shift home and work to GOR-I
LAHORE:
Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, who has been restricted to his private residence and office for security reasons for the last few weeks, is to move to his official residence at 7 Club Road, GOR-I, The Express Tribune has learnt.

Sharif is currently living at his private home at 96-H, Model Town, and uses a house at 180-H as his office, mainly for holding meetings. There are over 100 policemen of the Special Branch on security duty around the clock in and around these two locations.

A senior police official deployed with the chief minister said that his movement had been restricted to his home and office for security reasons since the killing of Hakeemullah Mehsud in a US drone strike.

The residence at 7 Club Road has been undergoing renovation for the last couple of weeks in preparation for the chief minister’s shifting, said an official familiar with the development.

Offices for secretaries, special secretaries and additional secretaries were shifted from 7 Club Road next door to 8 Club Road about 15 days ago, he said. The residence is being whitewashed and the administration recently purchased furniture including a bed.

All Chief Minister’s Secretariat offices have also been moved from 1 Club Road and 3, and some of them from 5 Club Road, to 8 Club Road.

‘Govt looking out for the poor’
LAHORE:
“The government is pursuing a comprehensive strategy to provide relief to the poorest families in the province,” Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Saturday.

He was addressing a group of parliamentarians at the chief minister’s house. National Assembly Members Hafeezur Rehman Khan Dareshak, Muhammad Talal Chaudhry, Rai Mansab Ali, Chaudhry Khalid Javed Waraich and Jamil Hassan Khan attended the meeting.

Sharif said the government had evolved a programme to provide targeted subsidies to families below the poverty line. As many as 1.3 million families in the lowest economic strata would be given Rs1,000 per month under the Punjab Khidmat Programme. It will be implemented from January 2014, he said.

“All possible resources would be utilised to lessen the economic burden on the poor and raise their standard of living,” he said.

He said a health insurance scheme would be launched to provide free health facilities to the poor. The chief minister said the health insurance scheme will initially be run in Hafizabad, Chakwal, Rajanpur and Layyah. Its scope would later be extended throughout the province under a phased programme.

The Punjab Rozgar Bank would be set up to provide jobs to the youth. Soft term loans for business start ups will also be given to the youth, he said.

Sharif said Rs12 billion were being utilised, under the Educational Endowment Fund Programme, to provide scholarships to more than 50,000 talented and deserving students. “The government has made sure that no student will be deprived of education due to financial constraints,” said the chief minister.

Sasta bazaars were held thrice a week in the province. People can buy essential items at cheap rates there, he said. “Officers have been directed to monitor rates at these markets. This has allowed the prices to stabilise,” Sharif said.

He said that land records were being computerised at a cost of Rs11 billion in 36 districts through the Land Record Information and Management System. Sharif said the project would be completed by 2014.

Mariam Nawaz deprived three candidates of admission in medical colleges
ISLAMABAD: PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif wants CJ Abdul Hameed Dogar to resign over allegation that his daughter received undue favour for admission in a private medical college, but he is yet to offer an apology for his own daughter Mariam actually receiving such favour for enrolment in a public sector medical college in 1991, according to a report published in the Weekly Pulse.
That year, Mariam Nawaz’s marks, 765 out of 1,000, in F Sc were too low to get admission in any public sector medical college in Punjab, and the minimum provincial merit was 803/1,000 at Quaid-e-Azam Medical College, Bahawalpur.
Mariam wanted admission in King Edward Medical College (KEMC) in hometown Lahore. But with her father as PM and uncle, Shahbaz Sharif, as CM, how could it be that her wish was not realized, the report said. She was first admitted to Army Medical College Rawalpindi, in 1991, and within a couple of months, was migrated to King Edward in clear violation of Migration rules. Mariam’s deprived not just one but two candidates competing for admission in public sector medical colleges. If this was not enough, investigations reveal that one professor at KEMC, Dr Shahnaz Javed of Physiology Dept was transferred from the college for not allowing an illegal increase in her attendance percentage to meet her attendance shortage for lectures in that subject.—Online
