GUJRAT, April 25: Kharian Tehsil Nazim Nadeem Asghar Kaira has welcomed the decision of the Punjab government to conduct a special audit of all local government institutions and asked the government to begin the audit from Gujrat district so that people could know about the “corruption and misuse of public funds” by the former rulers of Gujrat.

Kaira, the only Pakistan People’s Party-backed tehsil nazim in Punjab, told Dawn at his office though the government of former chief minister Pervaiz Elahi had conducted the audit of the Kharian Tehsil Municipal Administration thrice, he was ready for it once again.
