New contract signed for early completion of Awan-e-Riffat

KARACHI - A new contract has been signed for the early completion of the remaining work on Awan-e-Riffat Faizee Rehmeen Art Gallery, The Nation learnt on Tuesday.

The project is dedicated to the names of Faizee Rehmeen and Begum Atiya Faizee, the couple who devoted their lives for the promotion of art on the invitation of Quaid-e-Azam.

The local government has earmarked a certain amount of money for the completion of the project but at the end of the financial year, it focused its attention on other schemes with the result that it remained incomplete. This year the CDGK decided to fulfil the project keeping in view the wishes of art lovers.

City Nazim Mustafa Kamal had vowed that after addressing the civic problems with full motivation, the CDGK would concentrate on social sector.
