Special Assistant to Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Thursday said that the Sharif family even usurped the rights of widow and failed to prove the ownership rights of Jati Umra property.

She said that PML-N remnants are found everywhere and they are more loyal than the king.

“It is a bad omen for PML-N lovers as now they have to follow the rule of law lest they may end up in some confinement for their past wrongdoing.

The law was dormant for 35 long years but the PTI government is fulfilling its responsibility to ensure the supremacy of law.”

Addressing a press conference at DGPR office here, the SACM said that so far more than 136,000 healthcare workers have received the first dose of coronavirus vaccine whereas more than 83,000 healthcare workers have received the second dose across the province.

Dr Firdous said that so far, more than 390,000 elderly people have received the first dose whereas more than 90,000 elderly people have received the second dose across the province.

She said that 27323 elderly people have been vaccinated against coronavirus on the first of Ramadan in both shifts across the province including 15130 vaccinated during the morning shift and 12193 during the night shift.

The SACM said the vaccination process of elderly people above 60 years of age is in full swing across Punjab.

The single-dose vaccine is being administered to people above 70 years of age whereas sick elderly people above the age of 60 are also being vaccinated at home.

Dr Firdous Ashiq said that steps are being taken to check the spread of coronavirus and the capacity of government hospitals to deal with the corona situation is continuously improving.

She urged people to take precautionary measures against coronavirus and wear face masks.

The registration process is currently underway for the vaccination of people between the age of 50 and 60 years. A target has been set to vaccinate more than 20,000 citizens daily, she said.

The SACM informed that elderly people are being vaccinated at Punjab Vaccination Centers in two shifts during the month of Ramadan.

The first shift duration is from 10 am to 4 pm whereas the second shift works from 9 pm to 1 am.

Dr Firdous said that the Rehmatul-lil-Alameen scholarship program launched by Prime Minister Imran Khan is a gift to the nation which will provide access to undergraduate education to students from low-income families in 129 public-sector universities across the country.

A budget of Rs27.93 billion has been approved for the program, to be used over the course of the next five years, she said.

The SACM said the Rehmatul-lil-Alameen scholarship program is also being implemented at the provincial level and the total budget approved for this program is Rs1 billion per annum.

She said that Rehmatul-lil-Alameen the scholarship program will also be introduced in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
