QUETTA:


Huge billboards have been placed along one particular stretch of road in the provincial capital in a bid to raise greater awareness about the scourge of corruption.


The move has been undertaken by the Quetta Metropolitan Corporation (QMC) in collaboration with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).


Billboards carrying NAB’s message “Say no to corruption” have been placed at prominent junctions of the city along a particular stretch.

Furthermore, QMC has also put up banners carrying NAB’s messages on its premises to attract the attention of daily visitors. The campaign focuses on showing people how corruption affects their everyday lives and the measures they can take to fight it.

NAB Director General in Balochistan Tariq Mehmood Malik has commended QMC’s cooperation. “Elements with a corrupt mindset will not be allowed to dent the beautiful face of the society,” DG said.

Reiterating NAB’s resolve and commitment for a corruption-free society, he said that no stone would be left unturned to combat the curse of corruption.
