SAHIWAL, Feb 6: Anti-corruption establishment special judge Javed Rashid Mahboobi on Monday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for 18 government employees, including a DSP, and directed the police to produce them in the court on Feb 14.

They included DSP Ghulam Abbas Khera, SI Manzoor Ahmed, three UC secretaries Noor Ahmed, Zafar Iqbal and Pervez Akhter, three defunct municipal committee inspectors Viqar Abbas, Khurshid Ahmed and Ata Mohammad, three patwaris Muzammal Husain, Muhammad Nawaz and Sultan, former zakat committee chairman M. Akram, Muhammad Mujtaba, Tariq Mahmood, Imran, Muhammad Amin, Riaz Ahmed and M. Yaqoob.

These employees were involved in corruption and embezzlement cases and their challans had been submitted to the court but they remained absconders on which the judge issued their non-bailable warrants.

ANTI-CORRUPTION CELL: Heads of 32 district government departments will be held responsible in case of involvement of their subordinates in corruption.

This was stated by District Nazim Rai Hassan Nawaz while talking to the press here on Monday.

He said an anti-corruption cell was being established at his office in this regard.

He said sucking machines for cleanliness of sewer lines would be purchased next year for both Sahiwal and Chichawatni. He said general wards of Sahiwal DHQ Hospital and Chichawatni THQ Hospital would be airconditioned next year. A memorial would also be constructed for martyrs of the 1857 war of independence.
