According to the auditor general, the Punjab government has no record of Rs730 million spent in fiscal years 2018-19 and 2019-20. The Punjab Finance Ministry says that release of the aforementioned amount from the head account is being investigated. A comprehensive report on details of the spending would be presented to the auditor general soon, Finance Ministry officials said.
