‘Govt to help set up ombudsman’s sub-offices in other districts of Sindh’

Sindh Governor Mohammad Zubair has said the government will provide utmost support to the office of the provincial ombudsman so that the scope of its services could be extended to other districts of the province, in addition to Karachi.

He stated this during a meeting with provincial ombudsman Asad Ashraf Malik at the Governor House on Tuesday. Zubair appreciated the services of the ombudsman in resolving public complaints about the working of various government offices and organisations.

He said the ombudsman’s office had emerged as a leading institution to provide justice to people at grass-roots level, besides being instrumental in providing justice in respect of the working of government organisations on a most speedy and inexpensive basis.

The governor stated that government officials also got relief as public complaints about their organisations were resolved by the office. He said people seeking redressal of their problems would be greatly benefited if the scope of the services of the ombudsman’s office were extended to other districts. Ombudsman Malik briefed the governor about the performance of his institution and the process initiated by him to establish sub-offices in other cities of the province.
