Upon assuming his role as Speaker National Assembly, he&nbsp; ordered timely&nbsp; completion of this long-pending project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq alongside Deputy Speaker Syed&nbsp; Ghulam Mustafa Shah held several meetings with relevant stakeholders to expedite the project&#8217;s progress. The Speaker has been vigilant in monitoring the project, taking&nbsp; strict notice of escalation of Project cost&nbsp; and has mandated that the project be completed as soon as possible, ensuring best use of public money and&nbsp; minimizing expenditures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaker Sadiq emphasized that&nbsp; further delays in construction or escalation in project cost would entail strict actions. Due to his proactive measures, the required&nbsp; funds for the timely construction of this project have been secured. He has also instructed to initiate legal action against departments and agencies responsible for unnecessary delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is noteworthy that the prolonged delay in the completion of project has not only resulted into cost escalation but also caused severe inconvenience to parliamentarians, who have&nbsp; been voicing their concerns repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has assured the Speaker that the first phase of the Parliament Lodges expansion project&nbsp; will be completed within the current financial year while the second phase will be completed by the next financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project faced stagnation in previous periods due to non-provision of funds. However, effective austerity measures by the Speaker National Assembly&nbsp; have ensured the availability of required funds, breathing new life into a project that had been stalled for many years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad : &#8211; The Speaker of the National Assembly, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, has taken a series of decisive&nbsp; initiatives to ensure the swift completion of the stalled parliamentary lodges expansion&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":16884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[55],"class_list":["post-16883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","tag-national-assembly-of-pakistan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16883"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16885,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16883\/revisions\/16885"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
