KARACHI: Abandoned project

Published December 28, 2008

KARACHI, Dec 27: The government would look into the delay being caused in completing the work for the breast cancer diagnostic centre at the Sindh Government Hospital, Liaquatabad.

This was stated by Sindh Minister for Health Dr Saghir Ahmed while talking to PPI here on Saturday. The project was initiated in 2005 with the MPA funds but no progress has been reported for the last three years.

The minister said he would visit the project site to see if the work had been suspended for want of funds.
