The provincial government has directed all institutions to organize activities such as seminars, lectures, awareness walks, and rallies in educational institutions, madrasas, colleges, universities, and government offices to educate the public about the harmful effects of corruption.
Speaking at the meeting, Shahzad Mehboob described corruption as a major obstacle to socio-economic development, likening it to termites that eat away at society’s foundation. He noted that corruption fosters inequality, erodes public trust in systems, and undermines development efforts.
“The elimination of corruption is a collective national and religious responsibility. Everyone must play a positive role in combating this menace,” the Deputy Commissioner said.
DC Swat urged all departments to ensure strict implementation of the government’s directives for the successful observance of anti-corruption awareness week.
