KARACHI, Dec 27: Caretaker Minister for Local Government Syed Saleem Ahmed Zaidi on Thursday ordered suspension of two more officials of the field office of Sindh Katchi Abadis Authority (SKAA) in a fake lease scam.

The action has been taken against Shaharyar Khan, a deputy director, and Shahid Hussain, an office superintendent.

On Wednesday, the minister had ordered suspension of SKAA director-general Ali Ahmed Lund and director Karachi field office Dr Asghar Shaikh on the same charges.

However, Mr Lund on Thursday issued a duly signed and stamped letter clarifying that on his own request, the Sindh government had posted him as an officer on special duty in the S&GA Department.
