FAISALABAD: Faisalabad Commissioner and patron-in-chief of the Faisalabad Development Trust Nasim Nawaz has said that we can help the needy segments of the society through public-private partnership.
He was addressing the annual general meeting of the Faisalabad Development Trust here on Friday. Faisalabad DCO Noorul Amin Mengal, Toba Tek Singh DCO Waqas Alam, Chiniot DCO Shaukat Ali Khan, CPO Dr Sohail Habib Tajik, AC (General) Mehr Shafqatullah Mushtaq, FDT trustees and others attended the meeting. The commissioner said that the FDT was rendering help to poor and working for the welfare of patients and needy students. He said that the government was allocating funds for the execution of various development projects but owing to paucity of funds, philanthropists should come forward and help the needy people. He assured that the local administration would fully cooperate with the private sector donors. FDT chairman Mian Shaiq Javed told that during the last two years, the FDT had spent Rs 23.8 million on the welfare of the people in various fields.
