WANA: Public circles in South Waziristan Lower are questioning whether some heads of government departments are allegedly managing administrative affairs from other districts instead of remaining at their designated workplaces in the district.
According to concerns raised by local residents, the presence of relevant officials is essential for addressing public complaints, resolving administrative issues and ensuring the timely delivery of government services.
The reported situation has prompted questions about how departmental heads are performing their official duties if they are not regularly present at their offices or places of posting. Residents are also seeking clarification about the administrative arrangements under which such officials, if absent, are carrying out their responsibilities.
Another key concern is the responsibility for monitoring attendance and departmental performance. Public circles want to know which government or administrative authority is responsible for ensuring that officials remain available at their designated workplaces, supervise routine operations and respond to citizens’ complaints.
Questions have also been raised about whether any departmental heads have received official permission to work from outside the district. If such arrangements exist, residents are seeking clarification about their legal and administrative basis.
Conversely, if no authorized arrangement permits officials to perform their duties from other districts, questions arise about what steps the relevant authorities have taken to address the reported concerns.
Public circles have further called for clarification on whether any formal inquiry has been conducted into complaints regarding the alleged absence of departmental heads. They maintain that if the allegations are substantiated, the responsible officials should face appropriate departmental action in accordance with the law and applicable service rules.
The concerns have also renewed calls for a transparent assessment of government departments in South Waziristan Lower. Such an assessment, according to the demands being raised, should examine officials’ attendance, designated places of posting, office performance and the quality of services provided to the public.
Any evidence of corruption, misuse of authority or negligence should be examined through the relevant legal and administrative procedures, residents say.
Public circles maintain that government officials have a primary responsibility to provide timely and effective services. They are calling on the relevant authorities to strengthen administrative monitoring, improve departmental performance and take practical measures to address public grievances.
However, the allegations outlined in the concerns have not been independently verified, and no response from the relevant officials or departments was included in the supplied information. The matter therefore remains a call for clarification and transparent administrative review rather than an established finding of misconduct.
