He stated that incomplete and half-finished development projects not only bring disrepute to the government but also cause severe inconvenience to the public and obstruct smooth traffic flow. He noted that Chairman Bilawal Bhutto has issued strict directives to ensure all ongoing and incomplete schemes are completed first, and funds should be allocated for this purpose accordingly.
The meeting also included in-depth discussions on mega projects proposed by various departments.
