KHAIRPUR, June 15: The district Nazim, Khairpur, Nafisa Shah, has said that bureaucrats were creating hindrances in development works but they would not succeed in their nefarious designs.

She was speaking at a seminar organized for Citizens Community Board schemes here on Friday.

She said that the provincial government had released about Rs20 million for the district, which were handed over to the district government, but due to objections by the DCO, the amount was not transferred in the account of the Citizens Community Board.

She alleged that the DCO wanted that the amount granted for Citizens Community Board schemes should lapse, but she would not let him succeed in his aims.

The district Nazim said that her coordinator for development works, EDO, Ghulam Shabbir Soomro, was transferred and the development officer, Sikandar Shaikh, has been issued a show cause notice.

She said that she would lodge her complaint with the provincial government for not transferring the amount in the account of the Citizens Community Board.
