QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo has directed the concerned departments to ensure that all the funds for development projects are released by February 15, reported a local English daily.
While addressing a meeting on Wednesday, the newly appointed chief minister told the concerned secretaries and officials along with the Planning and Development Department, Finance Department, and Communications and Works Department to ensure that all on-going developmental work is completed as soon as possible.
According to the Finance Secretary Rohail Baloch, the major reason for the current scarcity of funds is the at source income tax deduction which in turn is stopping the timely completion of developmental work in the province.
Bizenjo assured the JUI-F delegation that this issue will be issued in a timely manner. He said that he would also approach the federal government about the scarcity of funds issue if the need arises.
