The Board of Revenue, Punjab, has earmarked more than Rs. 2.3 billion for the purchase of new cars for commissioners across the province.
According to an official notification, the board demanded new cars for additional commissioners of each division, additional deputy commissioners in each district, and assistant commissioners in each Tehsil of Punjab.
The new cars that are to be given to the officers are as follows:
| Appointment | Vehicle |
| Additional Commissioners of Each Division, | Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6 CVT |
| Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) of Each Division | Toyota Yaris ATIV 1.3 |
| Assistant Commissioner in Each Tehsil of Punjab | Hilux Double Cabin Revo G 2.8 TD Manual |
Previous Twitter posts suggested that the commissioners would get Toyota Fortuner, however, those reports were quickly dismissed by the relevant personnel privy to the matter.
The photo of the notification is currently making rounds on social media. As expected, the people are not too pleased with the government spending an astronomical amount of money on new cars for its office bearers.
Although, since the board has already procured the funding, the negative reaction seems to be of no consequence.
These same Government officers give us lectures on corruption on Youtube and other channels. Shameful than ever. Our economy is going down and they are enjoying Luxury cars.
Please stop using alien term (for most Pakistani’s) like millions, or billions. “Punjab Allocates Rs. 230 crore for New Cars for Senior Bureaucrats” is what most Pakistani’s will relate to and feel the gravity of.
Shame on Punjab Govt.
We beg from imf and then waste it on such trivial things and then blame western countries and all for our bad times. We suffer from instead inferiority complex and show off. We are shudras and want to taken as Brahmins. Fick the rulers
We have to pay for their luxurious life style, they are not serving us but they are helpers of rulers
They are here to help themselves. Instead of public servants they are here on the basis of nepotism
Yes, the commentators here are right one way or the other. However, it is easier to criticize the civil bureaucracy and politicians. Can anyone dare comment on the extremely high expenditure incurred on some others whose details are never made public? I hope you understand what I mean.
I am sure none can dare do that.
بے شک میرے رب کی پکڑ بہت شدید ہے۔
قوم سے زبردستی وصول شدہ رقم قوم کے فرعونوں کی آسائشوں میں جھونک رہے ہیں ۔ کبھی اپنی اصل اسلامی خلافت و حکومت کے احوال دیکھو ، یا اب موجودہ کافروں کی ایماندارانہ ملک و ریاست دوست حکومتی معاملات دیکھو،
شرم آنی چاہیئے بھک منگے ملک کے حاکم و بیوروکریٹ لوگوں کو. برطانیہ میں 90 گاڑیاں اور بھک منگے ،کمزور لوگوں پر مسلط 90 ہزار سرکاری ایندھن پر سرکاری گاڑیاں، اب نئی گاڑیاں ایک ارب سے زائد کا بوجھ۔
کیا یہ کھانا کھانے کے بعد سونا نکالتے ہیں ؟
اور ہم نہی نکالتے ۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
کیا مصیبت
پڑ گئی ہے۔
کہ نئی گاڑیاں دے رہے ہیں ۔ پرانی کدھر ہیں۔ کیا آپ اپنے پیسے سے خرید رہے ہیں جو شوق پورا کیا جا رہا ہے۔ نيا سال نیا ماڈل کی گاڑی۔۔۔
الامان الحفیظ
ڈرو اُس وقت سے جب رب کی پکڑ آ پہنچھے
They should buy poison and drink it. They are not needed
