Samar Haroon Bilour directed the relevant authorities to compile a comprehensive record of all official vehicles used by the Relief Department, including their registration numbers, manufacturers, models and other essential details.
She also instructed officials to provide the names and designations of all officers and employees using government vehicles, along with details of the vehicles assigned to them.
The governor’s adviser ordered the identification of all missing or unaccounted-for vehicles over the past 13 years and directed authorities to determine the officials responsible for their disappearance or unauthorised use.
She further instructed that formal notices be issued to the concerned officers and employees, requiring them to produce or return the government vehicles within 72 hours. Failure to comply would result in legal action under the relevant laws.
Samar Haroon Bilour also directed the Relief Department to submit a comprehensive report within five days, following thorough verification and examination of all relevant records.
She emphasised that the investigation must establish the facts, identify those responsible and ensure accountability for any irregularities involving government assets.
