MPA, Nazim fight over name plaques

CHITRAL: The district nazim, Maghfirat Shah, and MPA Ghulam Mohammad have run into a row over installation of plaques of their names to inaugurate a road project in Mulkhow area of upper Chitral, according to residents.

They said that former MPA from Chitral-II constituency, Maulana Mohammad Jahangir had allocated funds for the blacktopping of one kilometer road in Muzhgole but the work started in August last when the assembly had already been dissolved. The locals said that the work was inaugurated by the district nazim Maghfirat Shah by unveiling plaque inscribed with his name at Muzhgole bridge.

They added that they were astonished to see that the local MPA Ghulam Mohammad of PML-Q inaugurated it for the second time and replaced the plaque of the district nazim with his name.

The residents regretted that the work on the road was still going on at snail’s pace due to delaying tactics by the contractor but neither the district nazim nor the MPA had taken notice of it.--Zahiruddin
