Global Village Space |
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is all in readiness for his excursion to Lahore on the historic Grand Trunk Road.

A special bomb proof container has been prepared for Nawaz Sharif. Parked outside the Punjab House, the container is fully equipped with all necessary facilities, including separate compartments for a drawing room and a bedroom.

It has also been revealed that another officer of SP rank is in-charge of security at Sharif’s personal residence in Jati Umra, Raiwind.
