NAROWAL is an important district of Punjab. It is a good source of revenue generation but it has been neglected by every government. People here are deprived of their basic rights like heath and education.

No single government hospital is there in Zafarwal, a subdivision of the district. The government is undertaking every effort to make Lahore a clean and beautiful city. But in Narowal people are facing many problems, especially during the rainy season.

The construction of Darman bridge was stopped after the last election, though its structure still lies there. I want to draw the attention of the chief minister and other authorities concerned that they should take quick measures to complete this bridge. It is badly needed before the rainy season sets in.

Moreover, a poorly managed dispensary is working in Tarapur without staff and medicine. The situation must improve. People of Narowal are very energetic, enthusiastic and hardworking. They want to contribute to nation-building if they are provided basic facilities like education, health and communication.
