PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Mahmood Khan on Sunday paid surprise visits to various places, including hospitals, check-posts, police stations and other public places in Mardan and Malakand districts and suspended a number of officials over negligence towards their duties.
A handout said the chief minister drove to Mardan and Malakand without any protocol and security escorts.
During his visit to the Excise check-post at Sher Ghar in Mardan, Mahmood Khan ordered the immediate suspension of all the staff deputed there for being negligent in duties.
As the chief minister reached the check-post, the staff on duty was found relaxing in a room instead of checking vehicles on the road. The staff made an excuse of hot weather on the road when questioned by Mahmood Khan over shirking of their duties.
