The panel was met today to discuss the updated status of various assurances given by the Federal Government.

The QESCO officials briefed the body that the scheme would be implemented district wise. The committee expressed satisfaction with the details and disposed of the matter. The assurance regarding the missing file of a house located in Sector I-10/4, Islamabad was also taken up by the committee. The matter was raised by Senator Mushtaq Ahmed. The officials of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) stated that the matter is pending before the Civil Court. However, the CDA has initiated the inquiry against the alleged ones. Senator Abdul Shakoor Khan remarked that the CDA failed to notice the legality of file during the earlier five transfers, and on the six transfer of file, CDA termed the file fraudulent.
