Islamabad:
A hospital in Pakistan's Punjab province was launched thrice, but
it hasn't yet got built.
The 150-bed hospital was announced by then president General
Pervez Musharraf during his visit to Murree in 2007.
The Dawn reported that the hospital project now has the dubious
distinction of being launched three times at a huge cost the
public exchequer, but nothing to show on the forest department
land that was transferred to the health department for the
project.
General Musharraf was the first to start it. The project was later
initiated by then Punjab chief minister Pervaiz Elahi and the
third time by his successor, Shahbaz Sharif.
That's not a solitary case.
A building for a girls' degree college was completed a long time
back at Dak Bangla, but it lies vacant, the media report said.
Hafiz Usman Abbasi, an official, said the college building was
substandard and maintenance work had to be undertaken.
