LAHORE: The Punjab Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has expressed its displeasure at putting up “petty” audit paras related to the housing urban development and public health engineering department.

A meeting of the panel held at the assembly secretariat on Tuesday directed the audit department authorities to be careful in future and must not refer “petty” audit paras to the PAC that could be settled at the departmental level.

The meeting was chaired by MPA Nawabzada Waseem Khan Badozai. It will meet again on Wednesday (today) morning.

Meanwhile, proceedings of the 41st session of the Punjab Assembly will resume here on Tuesday after a seven-day break.

Speaker Sibtain Khan will chair the session.

The assembly secretariat has not issued an agenda for the sitting till the filing of the report late Tuesday night.
