BAR PRESIDENT: District Bar president Muhammad Ramazan Hinjra, in a press briefing here on Wednesday, expressed his resentment over not repairing the dilapidated judiciary buildings.
He said rooms used in the court by the judges were without ventilation. The walls had developed cracks and floors were broken, he added.
He maintained the district administration, especially the building XEN, had never bothered to start repair work despite repeated requests.
He urged the department’s higher-ups to get these rooms repaired without delay.
