Lahore: Acting on the directions of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, a Chief Minister’s Inspection Team headed by Special Assistant Shoaib Mirza paid a surprise visit to a village in Toba Tek Singh to inspect the ongoing Model Village Project.
During the inspection, the team reviewed the quality of construction work and found that substandard and poor-quality materials had been used in the project, said a handout issued here on Sunday.
The inspection further revealed that the overall standard of construction was significantly below the required specifications.
Laboratory testing of the construction material used in the project also confirmed that it failed to meet the prescribed quality standards.
Following the findings of the Chief Minister’s Inspection Team, the Anti-Corruption Establishment immediately initiated action. Legal proceedings have been launched against the project’s contractor and consultant, and necessary steps are being taken for their arrest.
