After taking serious note of delay in the completion of various development project, including Nullah Lai and use of sub-standard material, the Punjab government has directed the concerned departments to submit a report for the delay and fix the responsibility of those, who are causing hurdles.
The delay in Rs 4.13 billion Nullah Lai project was due to the lack of co-ordination among the heads and officials of the different organisations working on this project, said the sources in Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) here on Tuesday.
Nullah Lai widening project was being financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), they said, and added that this project and construction of two bridges on the Nullah at Gawalmandi and Dhok Charag Din was not completed even after three extensions granted to the contractors.
They said that Provincial Local Bodies Minister Mushtaq Kiani directed the District Nazim to submit a detailed report on the delay in various important development projects, and also asked him to fix the responsibilities so that action could be taken against those found guilty.
The minister also asked the District Nazim to submit a report why the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA), the RDA and tehsil municipal administration were looking indifferent towards the problems of the people due to delay in the projects.
The sources said that the minister expressed dissatisfaction over the installation of distribution pipeline all over the district, and asked the authorities concerned to give justification of leakage's in the pipeline.
The ministry, in its report, indicated that the sub-standard material was used in this project.
They said that the ministry also took serious notice of the use of sub-standard material in the construction of roads in Rawalpindi as the roads in Dhok Kashmiryan, Sadiqabad, Satellite Town, Dhok Kala Khan and other areas were giving a shabby look.
