The Prime Minister’s Office has approved Rs570 million in development grant for Cantonment General Hospital, Rawalpindi with immediate effect, according to official documents. He has called for giving the funds out of the Rs40 billion that the government has earmarked in the current fiscal year’s development programme for politically connected schemes.
The premier also directed the finance ministry to give an additional Rs230 million for meeting current expenditures for this year as well as for the next four years. He directed that Rs115 million “shall be released as a supplementary grant for meeting partial recurring costs during current fiscal year 2017-18.”

Pakistan’s first automated dispenser unit
Punjab unveils milk vending machine
LAHORE: Pakistan’s first automated dispenser unit is going to launch next month for the provision of pure and cheap milk, said Punjab Livestock and Dairy Development Board Chief Executive Officer Saira Iftikhar.
While talking to members of the Agriculture Journalists Association (AJA) on Tuesday, Saira said that this automated milk dispenser unit was manufactured in the country at a cost of Rs600,000. The idea behind introducing this machine is to encourage dairy farmers to sell milk through the vending machine. The current distribution scenario in the country is raising several questions and demand interventions by the public sector to introduce new dairy businesses as pilot.
Elaborating details, Iftikhar said that around 2,000 litres of milk being produced from the Sahiwal cow breed at Khizerabad farm near Sargodha would be sold through the automated dispenser unit at one of Lahore’s markets in the Township area. It will be available at Rs75 per litre.
