Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah directed officials on Wednesday to accelerate the pace of development in Sindh, ensuring that the schemes for which funds have been allocated be started immediately. In a meeting to review the progress of Annual Development Programme of Sindh at the Chief Minister’s House, he said that it was mandatory to complete the maximum number of development plans which include roads, various buildings, schemes under packages and special initiative units, to overcome the loss of infrastructure in the rain-hit areas. Shah directed the members of monitoring committees to frequently visit the progress of ongoing and newly initiated schemes and make sure that local labourers are utilised, providing them a chance for employment.
The meeting was informed that funds were stopped for schemes where less than 25 percent funds were utilised. The chief minister directed that schemes started by the present government should be completed in time. The chief minister was informed that 50 percent funds have already been released for the approved schemes.
