LAHORE: Governor Balighur Rehman on Saturday called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at Model Town and presented him a cheque of the relief money collected for the earthquake victims of Turkiye and Syria.

They also discussed the law and order situation in the province and other matters of mutual interest.

Meanwhile, the governor telephoned honorary Consul General of Sri Lanka, Yasin Joya, and thanked his efforts for providing eye cornea globes from Sri Lanka to the Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur.

He said last month a memorandum of understanding was signed between Sri Lanka, Lahore Business Council and Bahawal Victoria Hospital and as a result of it five globes of human eye cornea were handed over to the latter.

Mr Rehman said that in the last two years Yasin Joya provided 70 globes of eye corneas to Pakistan.
