360 Million = 180 Locomotives Brand new (transport 5-10 Million passengers annually)
360 Million = 900 Hospitals given grants of 500,000k each to modernize them, enough for 5 years operation
360 Million = 7000 Schools modernized, with chairs tables, books and water facilities
360 Million = Purchase of 5 , 140 seater planes
360 Million = 300+ Million tractors
360 Million = 85% of Iran Pakistan gas pipeline construction completed


However , Shehzadi Snow white , and 7 bone bhi chalein ge

Again , Chinese company is puting the funds on table, however they must have purchased the land , and other permits and paid government. And construction companies so indirectly some funds will come to Pakistani government's hand lets see how it develops

Its too bad that a private sector cannot invest same amount in privatizing hospitals on national level and improving standard across all places

360 Million is a tremendous amount , so the product would be of very high class , considering the huge investment amount (from Non Pakistan Entity)

I will be a privately owned business with their own investment so how will you get us to get F22 P frigates with that money? I have no love for nooras but PTI supporter seem to be blinded by hate for every thing Noon Government does whether it is good or bad. How many entertainment spots have you actually got in Lahore or any other city as a matter of fact specifically for kids?

@Topic Its about time that kids had some sort of enjoyment in pakistan. We literally kept an entire generation cooped up in houses just because we were afraid for their safety. Now that security situation is improving such theme parks are an excellent source of entertainment. Such parks are a sign that security situation is improving and investor confidence is returning.

[RIP Pak LAW]

Good step but why don't Punjab Govt reinstates Basant festival in Lahore as well. It was promoting soft image of the country but alas it was decorated under Musharaf so it will never be digested by these Sharif brothers.
