Addressing various public gatherings at Pinanwal, Pind Dadan Khan, the minister said that the people of Pakistan were deprived of clean drinking water, health and education facilities while Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari looted and plundered the national wealth and built palaces for themselves in foreign countries.
He�said that due to misgovernance of the past Jhelum and Pind Dadan Khan, like many other areas of the country , remained neglected in development schemes.� He said that the PTI government would launch uplift projects in the previously neglected areas to bring them at par with developed areas.
He announced that Prime Minster Imran Khan would be chief guest at ground breaking ceremony of Jalalpur canal project, which would irrigate lands of Jhelum distirct. The Jalalpur canal is Rs 9 billion project and will be completed in 4 years.
He said he had requested the irrigation department not to do brick lining of the canal so that the underground water of the area could become sweet. He said it� was a hundred year old project and the honor of its implementation would go to PTI government.
