Departmental reform: C&W in line for restructuring Two new departments of Monitoring and Evaluations and Special Initiatives are soon to be set up LAHORE: The Punjab Department of Communication and Works (C&W) is set to undergo considerable operational changes, in a bid to eliminate complaints of corruption and ensure effective technical and financial oversight of all phases of developmental works. The decision comes after several reports of substandard quality materials being used in the repair of the province’s roads and government buildings, constructed annually at costs climbing up to billions of rupees. In addition to that, the Department of Maintenance and Repair (M&R) Buildings and the Department of Maintenance and Repair (M&R) Highways are going to be abrogated and replaced by two departments of Monitoring and Evaluations and Special Initiatives, which are soon to be set up. Whereas, the manpower of the abolished departments will be deployed in the two new departments.
