The Commissioner issued these directives while presiding over a meeting here at his office on Monday.

While expressing his dismay over the delay in completion of the water supply scheme, the Commissioner said that no delaying tactics would be tolerated and strict action would be initiated against all those officers and contractors who were involved on such delaying tactics.

Such negligence was not only causing the wastage of the approved amount of the government but also depriving the people to receive benefits from these development schemes, he added.

The commissioner was informed that the water supply scheme for Tando Jam town was started in the year 2015 with an estimated cost of Rs. 61 million. The scheme was scheduled to be completed in the year 2018 but due to delay in release of grants as well as technical hurdles from Pakistan Railways, HESCO and Sindh Irrigation Department, the cost of construction had been increased to further Rs. 35 million for which a revised PC-I had been prepared for approval from the government.

The Commissioner decided to visit the site of the development scheme in-person and later discuss the issue with the officers of all departments concerned.
