After releasing funds, the Finance Department formally directed the Accountant General s Office to initiate the transfer of the allocated sum. This action allows WASA to go ahead with equipment procurement and pending construction work.

Previously, WASA had urged the provincial government to release the funds urgently to avoid disruptions in its ongoing projects. The timely disbursement will now allow the agency to continue critical development work without interruption.
