The administration handling auctions is responsible and has nothing to do with the incident,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nThe minister reiterated that ensuring transparency, accountability, and integrity remains the top priority across all levels of the Excise Department. \u201cConcrete steps have been taken to rid the department of corruption and malpractice,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Excise and Taxation, Khaliq ur Rehman, has taken strict notice of the recent fire incident at the Excise Warehouse and has directed the Secretary and Director General of Excise to submit a detailed report from the inquiry committee at the earliest.
