RAWALPINDI:
The Punjab government will establish a museum in Rawalpindi named after the first prime minister of the country, Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan, sources told The Express Tribune.
Funds for the project would be earmarked by the provincial government in the fiscal budget 2021-2022.
Well-placed sources said that the Punjab government had approached the ministry of national heritage for the construction of the museum. However, it received a reply that after the 18th amendment, the powers had been transferred to the provinces and the provinces would have to build projects of national and regional heritage on a self-help basis.
Holiday overview
Compared to their neighbours – China and India – these Himalayan gems are certainly small in size. But everything else in these two, landlocked countries – from the soaring peaks of the world s highest mountain range to the smiles and warmth of welcome you ll receive from the locals – is on a grand scale. This two-week, tailor-made journey begins with Kathmandu s gilded stupas and ancient city squares before a short flight west brings you to the pretty town of Pokhara, a sleepy, lakeside idyll framed by the snow-capped Annapurnas. Then, it s on to Bhutan, where you ll spend nine memorable days exploring the valleys, mountains and sacred temples of this secretive Himalayan kingdom.
