Mayor Khan has given all chairmen a week to evaluate the contents of their proposals to ensure that no fake projects are included, and to submit a report to him.

The local administration had placed uplift initiatives in his union council, which he had not approved, according to PPP UC Chairman Anjum Farooq Paracha.

He claimed that while he had not presented any project for the MC Girls School in Bhabra Bazaar, Rs10 million had been put aside for it in the paperwork.
