  "account": "The Communications and Works Department is under consideration to execute a development scheme for upgrading 13 inner-city roads in Rawalpindi. The scheme would be funded by the Rs2.86 billion development funds of the Rawalpindi Municipal Corporation. The Rawalpindi Municipal Corporation's own development funds are intended for carpeting, rehabilitation, and expansion of these roads, but a proposal is currently being discussed to transfer the execution of the scheme to the Communications and Works Department. Concerns have been raised over potential political interference in the municipal corporation and its alleged inability to handle such a large-scale project. Executing the scheme under a different department could potentially lead to audit objections for the municipal corporation. The Chief Officer of the Municipal Corporation, Faisal Shehzad, confirmed that the matter is still under discussion and no final decision has been made.",
