• The provincial cabinet has allocated an additional Rs 20 billion for the early completion of these priority and nearing completion projects. The purpose of allocating additional funds for these development projects is to complete them quickly and make them operational. These are urgent projects for the provision of public services. Their timely completion is a top priority so that service delivery to the people can start without delay. Ali Amin Gandapur
• The additional funding that has been provided to projects nearing completion in the last 3 months of last year has yielded significant results. From the beginning of this year, funds will be released under this formula so that projects nearing completion can be completed this year itself. The provincial government wants to complete projects nearing completion immediately so that there is no delay in service delivery. Ali Amin Gandapur
• Wise use of funds allocated for development projects and determination of priorities in the use of development funds are very important. Those projects on which 80 percent of the work has been completed should be fully funded and completed soon. The Rs 20 billion allocated for these projects should be released as soon as possible, the Chief Minister directed
• The concerned administrative secretaries should themselves monitor the progress of these projects to ensure their timely completion, Ali Amin Gandapur
