Exciting news from the Prime Minister’s Office as a high-level committee has been formed to draft a transition plan for the dissolution of the Pakistan Public Works Department (Pak PWD). Led by the Minister for Housing and Works, the committee aims to present its recommendations shortly after Eidul Azha.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s decision to abolish the PWD due to poor performance and corruption has led to the formation of this committee. They will develop strategies for dismantling the department, managing public projects efficiently, maintaining assets, and outlining the future of PWD employees.
While this move aligns with the government’s plan to reduce expenditures and streamline infrastructure, it has sparked protests among PWD employees. The Ministry of Housing and Works has also requested detailed performance and financial information from the department.
Established in 1854, the PWD has a rich history of overseeing engineering works in Pakistan. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story!
