The Sindh government has denied reports suggesting it plans to purchase double-cabin vehicles for assistant commissioners, stating that the facts behind the decision were misrepresented.
In a statement on Thursday, the provincial government clarified that the concerns about allocating Rs2 billion for vehicle purchases lacked proper context and overlooked the necessity of the decision.
The statement highlighted that officers work tirelessly, especially in remote areas, to ensure the smooth functioning of government operations. The last purchase of vehicles for assistant commissioners occurred between 2010 and 2012, when Suzuki Cultus cars were acquired.
The average lifespan of these vehicles is seven to eight years, and most have now exceeded that period, with many having traveled nearly 800,000 kilometers. Odometers have also become non-functional due to excessive use. Some officers are still using models from 2005 and, lacking personal vehicles, have been forced to rent private cars for their official duties and emergencies.
The government emphasized that the double-cabin vehicles being purchased should not be considered luxury items, refuting any portrayal of the decision as extravagant.
The province has decided to acquire 138 four-by-four double-cabin vehicles. Sources revealed that the General Administration Department has requested Rs2 billion from the Finance Department for the purchase, with each vehicle reportedly costing over Rs10 million.
