Provincial minister Zulfiqar Ali Shah said in a meeting that no budget or funds were issued for Gorakh hill station after the authority was annexed to the culture and tourism department. He said after the annexation, no corruption case has surfaced.
Referring to the Auditor General’s report over the matter, he said the report was two years old when Gorakh Hill Station Authority existed.
“We have decided to approach the anti-corruption department and the NAB over the corruption in Gorakh hill station project,” Zulfiqar Shah said.
He said the surplus hill station employees have been relieved and an inquiry has been initiated. “Action is being taken against the officials, contractors, and employees involved in corruption”.
Tourism minister said that a highway-like road is being constructed for the hill station with special interest from the chief minister.
Earlier, the officials briefed the minister about the situation after dissolution of the Gorakh authority and the funding for its development works.
