SUKKUR:
Corruption campaigns in different government departments are gaining momentum, and the latest effort of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has been the raiding of office of executive engineer of Salinity Control and Reclamation Project (SCARP), shikarpur, taking their records into custody.
The raid was conducted following complaints of massive corruption in the department.
The NAB team from Sukkur raided the office of the Scarp executive engineer and seized all the records pertaining to fuel consumption and maintenance and repairs.
They subsequently sealed the office premises.
Scarp’s only function was to install tube wells at various sites to maintain the underground water table and release saline water into the Left Bank Outfall Drain or the Right Bank Outfall Drain. It has been observed, however, that most of the tube wells installed by the department are lying non-functional after developing faults.
At the same time, the department spends large sums of money on paper on the procurement of fuel for vehicles and for the repairs and maintenance of the tube wells.
