Body formed to probe construction flaws in Islamabad airport

Author: NNI

Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar on Wednesday formed a committee to probe the defects in the construction of newly-built Islamabad International airport.

A three-member bench headed by the CJP conducted hearing over the suo motu notice.

Top officials including Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and Director General of Civil Aviation appeared before the court.

As the hearing went underway, the CJP asked: “Who has built the airport?”

It was told that “the Civil Aviation Authority had taken the responsibility”.

“I have heard that Chaudhry Muneer was handed over the construction. If that is not the case, then why his name was being repeatedly coming in the case?” he remarked.
