PM Imran orders Bulldoze walls of Punjab Governor House.

Prime Minister Imran Khan has ordered razing walls of Punjab Governor House in Lahore, provincial Information Minister Fayyazul Hasan Chohan said Saturday.

Speaking to media outside the chief minister's residence, Chohan said the prime minister visited the provincial headquarters today, during which he reviewed performance of the provincial government.

The minister said that PM Khan expressed satisfaction over Punjab government's performance.

He noted that previously, the expenses of Chief Minister Secretariat were Rs5.5 million monthly, which has now been reduced to Rs0.8 million.

Chohan said the governor's residence was not a historic place, but an office, adding that the premier has ordered demolishing its walls.

"The decision would be acted upon in the next 48 to 72 hours," he said.

The provincial minister further said the premier expressed concerns over transfers and postings of officials, warning that none of the ministers should have a part in this.

Claiming that previously-made price control committees were formed on political basis, he said the newly-constituted committees will perform better.

UNDP, s NDHR 2017 report and Dilemma of Youth of Pakistan

Amazing tweets and posts on social media are coming from the educated people especially from youth social media accounts about UNDP “Pakistan National Human Development Report PKNDHR 2017”. I would like to ask a simple question from the educated people that Did you read this report?

The purpose of every tweet and post is criticism on PTI lead Government in KP while comparing the KP Government with Punjab and Sindh. I would like to share with you the story of UNDP report. This r

Russia, Germany reaffirmed their commitment to preserving Iran nuclear deal: Kremlin

Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have reaffirmed their commitment to preserving a 2015 landmark nuclear agreement despite the US move to pull out of it, the Kremlin says.

"I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal," Trump said Tuesday in a televised address from the White House. “This was a horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made.” Kremlin quoted a statement issued following the call as saying that Putin and Merkel discussed the situation around the nuclear deal "following the unilateral withdrawal
