Secretaries skip price monitoring duties

Chief secretary says a forensic science laboratory is being built on 30 acres of land in Karachi

KARACHI:

Price monitoring committees formed by Chief Secretary Rajput against profiteers under the secretaries of various departments remain inactive, officials said.

Secretaries of all the departments of Sindh government were entrusted with the responsibility to visit a particular area and take action against the profiteers.

However, except Secretary Industry Abdul Rashid Solangi and Secretary Human Rights Sibghatullah Mehar, none of the secretaries have implemented the orders of chief secretary.

Meanwhile, Chief Secretary Muhammad Sohail Rajput has said that a forensic science laboratory is being built on 30 acres of land in Karachi. About 22 per cent of work on the laboratory building has been completed.

He said that the Forensic Science Laboratory will be completed by May 2025. The Sindh government has provided all the funds for the laboratory in the current financial year.
