In a decisive move to accelerate progress on critical infrastructure, Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate Upper Chitral, Muhammad Imran Khan, has ordered the registration of First Information Reports (FIRs) against contractors responsible for significant delays in ongoing development projects.
The stern action comes in response to the extraordinary slowdown observed on key arterial roads including the Buni-Buzand Road, the vital Chitral-Buni-Mastuj-Shandur Road, and several other important highways crucial for local connectivity and regional development.
These persistent delays have not only inconvenienced the public but also adversely impacted the region’s accessibility and economic activities. The Deputy Commissioner emphasized that such negligence in executing public welfare projects will not be tolerated, signaling a clear commitment to ensuring timely completion and quality infrastructure for the residents of Upper Chitral.
DC Khan’s directive underscores the administration’s resolve to hold contractors accountable and push for the expedited completion of vital development works across the district, aiming to improve infrastructure and facilitate smoother travel for residents and visitors alike.
