FAISALABAD: November 13, 2026 (Digital Itla) — Taking immediate cognizance of the assault on a shopkeeper on Satiana Road, the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) Faisalabad has terminated the services of driver Muhammad Taimoor Riaz, who was attached to already-suspended Senior Clerk Mian Maqsood Ahmad, while initiating formal departmental proceedings against both employees under the Punjab PEEDA Act 2006.
According to details, the action follows an incident on November 11, 2026, involving alleged physical violence against a shopkeeper on Satiana Road. WASA terminated Taimoor, who was serving as a permanent workman, from service with immediate effect. Officials clarified that Mian Maqsood Ahmad—a WASA Senior Clerk previously deployed as a Price Control Magistrate—had already been placed under suspension and is not currently performing duties on any post within the agency.
WASA authorities have appointed Deputy Director Revenue (West) Farhan Ali as Inquiry Officer and Assistant Director Admin Umar Farooq as Departmental Representative to investigate the individual roles, records, and witness statements in the case. Both employees have been directed to submit their written defense within seven days of receiving the orders, failing which ex-parte proceedings will be conducted under the law. WASA management reiterated that misconduct toward citizens and abuse of authority will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
