Lahore : “Prepare immediate plan to ensure regular functioning of the Complex,” Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif directed the authorities concerned during a surprise visit to the Children’s Library Complex. She got furious to see wastage of government resources, as lights, fans and ACs were on in the empty rooms, the library and the auditorium. She sought a report from the authorities concerned in this regard.
Madam Chief Minister reviewed various areas of the main building of the Children’s Library Complex including the library, audio-visual section, auditorium and offices. She also visited the special section meant for special children, besides the almost empty gymnasium and swimming pool.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif took information about the functioning and performance of various sections,
and reviewed facilities in the Center of Geology, AI, Artificial Section and other departments.
Madam Chief Minister said,”The deserted building of the Children’s Library Complex is a testament to the disdain for knowledge and books in the previous government.”
It is worth-mentioning that the Children’s Library Complex was inaugurated by Muhammad Nawaz Sharif in 1988 as Chief Minister Punjab.
Senior Provincial Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, Information & Culture Minister Azma Zahid Bukhari, Provincial Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat and MPA Nausheen Adnan accompanied Madam Chief Minister. Secretary Education Dr. Ehtesham Anwar and other relevant officers were also present.
