The construction work on the six-room block and the administration block of the Pakistan Islamia Higher Secondary School in Sharjah had been pending for a long time due to lack of funds. Speaking to Khaleej Times, Pakistani Consul General, Amanullah Larik, said, "Though the deadline given by the Dubai government to end the afternoon shift was by April of this year, we had requested that an extension be given till September 1. This now has been granted and the construction on the six-room block will be completed during the summer vacations." A total of Dh 800,000 was needed for the construction of the new block for the school. The Pakistan Consulate General in Dubai came up with a donation of Dh 300,000, while the remaining amount is to be raised by the Pakistani community residing in the UAE. Mr Larik said that there was a possibility that the consulate might agree to donate another Dh 100,000, bringing the total amount donated to Dh 400,000. He said that a major portion of the funds has already been transferred to the Development Fund Account. "Even after a long wait, we received no positive response from the community, therefore we had no choice but to ask for money from the Pakistan government," he said, adding that "all the paperwork was complete and all the architectural plans were ready to be taken off the drawing board for implementation. Mr Larik also said that, as yet, the Pakistan government had not made any decision regarding donation of the required Dh 100,000. "Now we are hoping that after the construction is complete, the government might donate the required amount," he added.
