Islamabad, The Prime Minister’s Inspection Commission (PMIC) conducted a thorough inspection of the “Replacement and Upgradation of HVAC Plant Room Equipment and Allied Works at PIMS, Islamabad” project. This inspection comes in response to the Prime Minister of Pakistan’s concerns over delays in the project’s completion.

According to Press Information Department, the Prime Minister expressed dissatisfaction with the reports from the Ministry of Housing and Works and the Ministry of National Health Services Regulations and Coordination regarding the project’s delayed progress. As a result, the PMIC, led by Chairman Brig. (Retd.) Muzaffar Ali Ranjha, has been tasked with ensuring effective supervision and expediting the project’s completion. The inspection team, headed by Mr. Zahir Shah, Member PMIC, and including Dr. Mumtaz Ahmed Kamal, Mr. Safdar Ali, Mr. Muhammad Saleh Narejo, and Mr. Ahmed Waseem, visited the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) to evaluate the ongoing work, particularly the installation of the central air conditioning system.

During the visit, the PMIC team, accompanied by the administration of PIMS, officers of the Public Works Department (PWD), and contractors, assessed the progress made in light of directions given during their last visit. The team issued directives for the speedy and effective completion of the project, emphasizing the need to adhere to the deadlines. The project has experienced significant delays, prompting the PMIC team to stress the importance of completing the project before December 15, 2023. To monitor the progress, Chairman PMIC plans to visit the site again on December 10, 2023. A preliminary report on the project’s status will also be submitted to the Prime Minister’s Office.
