Earlier, the former Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif suspended Waseem Ajmal and Chief of Contracts and Procurement Shabnam, while terminating the services of General Manager Project Services Col (retd) Tahir Maqbool.

He believed that these officials had been negligent in their duties of rolling out the chief minister’s much-touted clean water project.

“Those who cannot deliver have no right to stay in their jobs and get six-digit salaries. Perks and privileges have to be matched by action,” he said on his Twitter account.
