Furthermore, he announced that NAB was set to address irregularities in the power sector, mines and minerals, and auqaf departments. Additionally, it was revealed that the bureau was preparing to confront powerful influences. A committee was formed to handle complaints from investors who felt their protection was insufficient. The chairman urged for a decrease in the Rs.
