ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister’s Special Assistant for Political Affairs Naeemul Haq on Tuesday said that four surplus helicopters of the Cabinet Division will be auctioned, while eight buffaloes kept at PM House for former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s ‘gastronomic requirements’ will also be sold.
The helicopters are not currently under the Cabinet Division’s use and thus deemed surplus helicopters, he said on twitter.
“After the surplus car auction , 4 surplus helicopters will be sold which are lying unused with the cabinet division. Plus , now listen to this, 8 buffaloes which Nawaz kept at the PM house for his gastronomic requirements. So all potential buyers please get ready,” he tweeted.
