Islamabad: A petitioner moved the Islamabad High Court (IHC) here on Tuesday adopting that the Pak-PWD has paid Rs77 million to a contractor for the construction of a road, which has not been built at all.
The petitioner, Sharafat Ali Chaudhry, adopted before the IHC that the Pak-PWD paid the aforementioned amount to a contractor for constructing ‘Khaira Distributors Road’ in Lahore in the constituency of NA-302. The amount was paid to the contractor despite the fact that road was never built, the petitioner alleged.
The petitioner maintained that the amount was paid at the orders of Pak-PWD Executive Engineer Muhammad Ramzan, who was later promoted as chief engineer.
A Pak-PWD superintendent engineer, who pointed out the corruption, was made an OSD.
The petitioner has prayed to the court to take appropriate action against the responsible persons in this matter.
