Terming it a serious incident, the speaker said he would direct the provincial chief secretary to present him the report within a week after the matter was raised by MNA from the same area Mohsin Dawar, who also wanted to talk about it during the assembly session on Monday, but could not do so due to a noisy protest from the treasury and opposition benches.
