The committee Chairman, Ahmad Iqbal, announced that rather than discussing these irregularities, immediate action would be taken against the officials involved in such practices.
Ahmad said that officers found repeatedly committing corruption would be considered disqualified.
He directed that strict action should be taken against the corrupt officials.
