‘An eye for an eye for India’

Published December 29, 2001

KASUR, Dec 28: India will have to bear the brunt of any aggression it has masterminded against Pakistan.

This was stated by Punjab Governor Lt-Gen Khalid Maqbool while talking to villagers and journalists during his surprise visit to a girls high school, Maan, tanneries treatment plant and Qadi Wind village on Friday.

The governor said the government was paying special attention to education, health and environment departments.

He said the government had been recruiting 4,000 doctors to facilitate patients.

Zakat system, irrigation system and law and order situation in Punjab had been improved, he added. Doubling the Khushal Pakistan Fund, he said he had been trying hard to make welfare projects a success.

The governor directed the authorities concerned to provide furniture and land to the school.

He also ordered to widen the Qadi Wind Road.

Lahore-Kasur Road would be made a dual carriage way to meet the cultivators’ complaints regarding sugar mills.
