MANSEHRA: Special assistant to the Prime Minister Sardar Shahjehan Yusuf on Monday said the federal government had approved the first women’s university for Mansehra district along with a long-delayed water scheme.

Mr Yusuf told reporters after addressing a lawyers’ gathering on the district bar’s premises here that an appropriate building had been selected for the women’s university, which would begin classes in the next academic session.

He said the prime minister would soon inaugurate the multibillion rupees ‘gravity flow water supply scheme’ for which the Saudi and Pakistani governments had already finalised modalities. The premier’s aide said the last PM Imran Khan-led government had abandoned the mega project.

He said the visa protector offices for Hazara division would be inaugurated in Abbottabad shortly.
