ISLAMABAD:
The Senate on Thursday approved recommendations to make 92 changes in the federal budget for the fiscal year 2016, including asking the government to allocate Rs100 billion for the Western Route of CPEC (Pak-China Corridor).
“We strongly feel that an allocation of Rs100 billion should be given to the Western route and it should be done on priority basis,” said Senator Saleem Mandviwala, while presenting the Senate Finance Committee’s proposals for changes to the 2015 Finance Bill.
