Probe misuse in TR, FFW
JS body asks ministry
A parliamentary body yesterday asked the authorities concerned to investigate widespread allegations of irregularities in food distribution programmes under the food and disaster management ministry.
It also asked the Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation Division (IMED) to investigate alleged corruption in the processes of appointment and tender awarding under the ministry.
The parliamentary standing committee on planning ministry directed the IMED to submit its report before the committee within the next two months.
“The committee came to know about irregularities in distributing food items under the Test Relief (TR) and Food For Work (FFW) programmes in different areas. News reports have been published on the issue, tarnishing the image of the present government", said Col (retd) Oli Ahmad, chief of the body, yesterday.
