Independent Report
LORALAI (November 12): Deputy Commissioner Loralai Capt. (Retd.) Muhammad Haseeb Shuja has ordered a detailed technical assessment of a recently built futsal ground at the University of Loralai, warning that defective workmanship and any misuse of public resources would face strict scrutiny.
During an inspection visit, Shuja raised concerns about aspects of the facility developed under the Balochistan Skills Development Initiative (BSDI) and directed the relevant authorities to thoroughly evaluate the work.
He instructed the implementing agency to assess the quality of construction materials, workmanship and completed structures against the approved design and prescribed technical specifications.
The deputy commissioner made it clear that any shortcomings identified during the technical examination must be corrected by the contractor at the contractor’s own expense. He stressed that no additional financial burden should be placed on the public exchequer for rectifying construction defects.
Shuja further directed officials not to certify the project as complete until all required technical inspections and quality checks had been satisfactorily carried out.
He said development schemes involving public funds must meet established standards of durability and safety to ensure that infrastructure remains functional over the long term and does not require avoidable repairs soon after completion.
Highlighting the importance of recreational facilities for students, the deputy commissioner said the futsal ground could provide young people with a healthy sporting environment and encourage physical activity once it was completed according to the required specifications.
Shuja reiterated that transparency, accountability and continuous quality monitoring would remain central to the administration’s approach to development projects, ensuring that public investment produces safe, durable and meaningful facilities for the community.
