Summary Surplus account has been shown by withholding the development funds of power and education sectors.
LAHORE: Punjab government has claimed that it has surplus amount of Rs 9 billion, after five months of the current fiscal year.
According to documents acquired by the Dunya News, 32 percent of the development funds have been used in the urban areas of the province, including Lahore, during the period from July to November 2012.

The development funds for local governments have also been slashed to meager amount of Rs 3.80 billion.
Punjab schools received only 7 percent of the promised amount.
