RAWALPINDI: Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chattha has issued show-cause notices to the chief officer and executive engineer of Gujar Khan District Council for significant delays in the execution of development schemes in the district.

The commissioner emphasized that no negligence would be tolerated when it comes to development works.
He urged the officials to ensure that all projects are completed within the specified time frame and that funds are utilized appropriately without compromising on quality.
Commissioner Chattha also stressed the importance of constructing pavements along roads, even in remote areas, as it contributes to the durability of the infrastructure.
Additionally, he emphasized the need for proper road maintenance, highlighting that repairs are often neglected due to a lack of available funds.
