The Sindh government has decided to auction unusable vehicles within a month and purchase electric vehicles (EVs) to replace government employees in Karachi.
An important meeting of the Sindh Cabinet Sub-Committee on Austerity, chaired by Provincial Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, took place in Karachi.
The meeting was attended by provincial ministers Saeed Ghani, Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar, Ali Hassan Zardari and several departmental secretaries.
During the meeting, the committee members issued instructions to regulate the allocation of government vehicles through clear guidelines. Secretaries from various departments presented a 10-year history of government vehicles.
Sharjeel Inam Memon, in his speech, stated that the auction process should be completed within a month to avoid further wastage of resources and meet the need for new vehicles.
He stressed that the purchase of electric vehicles would benefit the government, save fuel costs and facilitate the auction process.
He also stated that the government is committed to guaranteeing transparency and accountability in the use of public resources.
He warned that those who misuse government vehicles should return them as per government orders.
Provincial Minister Memon added that work is underway on the auction of unusable vehicles and that the auction will be carried out in a transparent manner.
All concerned officials and departments must comply with the new guidelines to avoid legal action.
Saeed Ghani stated that timely auction of unusable vehicles is crucial to reduce unnecessary expenses. He urged departments with surplus vehicles to return them to the government.
Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar said that efforts are being made expeditiously to identify unserviceable vehicles and ensure compliance with government policies.
Its goal is to save public money and ensure that spending meets real needs.
