    Lahore – Our Goof Correspondent: In an impressive new plan revealed by the Punjab education minister on Saturday, the province is going to construct 12 new national highways in an effort to increase the literacy rate of the province.

    “This new initiative is going to significantly help the cause of education in the province,” said Rana Mashood, Punjab education minister. “These highways are going to be yet another example of serious-minded approach of the PML-N government.”

    When asked how, by any stretch, roads were related to education, the minister rebuked the concerned reporter and called him a member of the “anti-development lobby in the local media”.

    The ambitious initiative follows the plan by the province’s health ministry to improve infant mortality statistics in south Punjab by making three national highways.

    The party’s efforts are not limited to the provincial level. The ministry of finance just made a major effort in improving Pakistan’s relationship with the BRIC group of countries by upgrading the Rawat-Islamabad road to a signal-free highway.

    “If all you have is a hammer,” said Dr Saleem Bangash at the LUMS School of Policy, “then all problems will start looking like nails.”

    1. It's good to have highways in the country, but sir railway network is more important if the minister has traveled developed countries I'm sure he would have realised how important railway network is! And also it's easy and fast to develop the network and also minimum 1000, people a train can carry and it's cheaper way of traveling and also trains carry goods. And also less pollution. I hope education minister, transport minister, and also railway minister understand. In Pakistan either One minister controls more than one departments or one department has too many ministers. We need a strong leadership and the moment we don't have.

    2. These are all fraud degree blacksmiths with hammer in their hands and trying to nail the government treasuries and public fund. Claimant of Human Right thugs say nothing about these swindlers, who are sucking blood of all Pakistanis.

    3. A classical government, which has accused the poor people including women got themselves killed in Model Town, without any order from the CM or PM and FIR has been registered against the martyred instead of CM or PM.
