QUETTA: The National Accountability Bureau’s Balochistan branch has filed a reference against three former officials and an incumbent employee of the Quetta Development Authority (QDA) in an accountability court.
They have been accused of embezzling Rs417.054 million by creating 2,176 additional plots in the Hazarganji Commercial Complex and allotting them to people of their choice.
The QDA was assigned the task of establishing the Hazarganji Commercial Complex for which 500 acres of land were handed over to it by the Board of Revenue.
As per the master plan, a spokesman said, the complex was to have 964 plots. But the accused officials fraudulently created 2,176 more plots in the areas earmarked for amenity plots, mosques, parking bays and a waiting hall and by reducing the area allocated to shops. —Staff Correspondent
