KARACHI, Aug 1: The reported brawl in a high-level meeting of the city government has been deplored by the opinion leaders.
Expressing concern over the incident, PPP Sindh president Nisar Khuhro said instead of finding a solution to the problem and taking those to task who were responsible for choked sewers, potholes in the old and newly-constructed roads, absence of health care and safe drinking water, the incident only amplified a "sickening phenomenon." Mr Salim Zia of Pakistan Muslim League (N) said Thursday's incident only showed the people who had infested the civilian departments were not answerable to anybody and were not under any organizational discipline. He said that in order to run an organization, there has to be a proper chain of command, distribution of duties and assigning of responsibility.
I think the concept of division of labor was invented sometime around 8000 B.C. It should catch on in Pakland soon, I'd think... | He emphasized that since nobody is responsible to anybody, there was a total chaos in these organizations. Central information secretary of the PPP, Taj Haider, said the flare-up at the city government meeting, in which retired Brig Zaheer Qadri, EDO (Works), city government, fractured the nose of acting chief of the water and sanitation department of the city government, Suleman Chandio "is a logical outcome of the on-going civil military row in almost every civilian institution". Mr Haider said sacking of the brigadier was in order. The malady, however, needs a total cure. |
