The authorities concerned apprised the Chief Minister of the advancements in the new and ongoing developmental schemes.
Pervez Khattak while taking notice of delay in early completion of hygiene and water supply schemes in certain parts of the city asked the secretary local government to visit and inspect these schemes and ensure its completion by himself. Similarly he asked for awarding severe punishment to the contractors who did not meet the deadline of the project project completions and hence to find them heavily in order to avoid their delay tactics in future and ensure early redressal of public complaints in this regard.
The Chief Minister was told that though the drainage system was becoming acute issue in Peshawar in the past due to ill planning of the previous regimes but vivid improvement was being recorded in the sewerage and hygiene situation in the city due to concrete steps of the provincial government. – PR
