District admn urged to monitor govt depts
SARGODHA, Sept 27: The district administration and members of the provincial assembly at a meeting on Saturday pledged to eradicate corruption in the government departments.
They warned that stern action would be taken against the officials found involved in malpractice.
The members of the provincial assembly assured the district government that it would be provided opportunity to work without any pressure. However, it should keep an eye on the affairs of the government departments under its control.
The meeting reviewed the working of the health officials and blasted charges of appropriation of funds allocated for medicines, absence of medical officers, and apathy of the other staff.
The executive district health officer was asked to improve the state of the health units in the district in a month. He was also urged to take stock of quackery and sale of expired medicines.
District Police Officer Tariq Yasin told the participants that police had conscientiously started registering cases. It was a practice here, he said, that the police registered few cases to show the minimum number of crime incidents.
He was asked to direct his subordinates to behave politely with the general public.
Reviewing the Baitul Maal and Zakat and Ushr Committee’s performance, the officials stressed the need to take measures to make distribution of funds transparent.
