KHAIRPUR, Oct 17: The chairman of the National Reconstruction Bureau, Daniyal Aziz, said on Tuesday that he foresaw Citizen Community Boards bring about a revolution in underdeveloped areas by enabling people to prepare their own development plans.

Speaking at a ceremony for distributing cheques among CCB chairmen at the Sachal Auditorium, he said that local bodies were independent and provided a platform for taking people-friendly decisions. No future government would be able to roll it back since it had been protected in the Constitution, he added.

Mr Aziz distributed the cheques among 102 chairmen of CCBs of the district and later inaugurated the district monitoring office.

He assured a gathering of police officers that the government would provide them required facilities to improve their performance.

The district administration and the police department would be connected through computer network, salaries would be improved and performance-based awards would be awarded to motivate the employees, he added.

Mr Aziz also visited Sachal Sarmast Library and Red Crescent Medical Complex where Dr Murad Ali Khamisani briefed him about the facilities available at the complex.

District Nazim Syed Niaz Hussain Shah told the CCBs chairmen that some 1,100 schemes had been approved, which would be carried out throughout the district.

His speech was interrupted several times by the Awam Dost Panel (ADP) members, who shouted “shame, shame” and boycotted NRB chairman’s speech.

Led by Abdul Qayoom Shaikh, Ghazala Siyal and 20 other members of the district council, they told reporters that the local bodies structure had completely collapsed in the district and said they had proofs that all the CCB schemes were being given to a select group of ruling party only.

The law and order in the district had crumbled and mismanagement was at its peak, they charged and demanded that the NRB chairman hold impartial inquiry into the district’s affairs.
