Latest News: Punjab govt. abolishes top Posts


LAHORE: Zulfiqar Khosa, senior Adviser to Chief Minister Punjab on Sunday unleashed austerity measures in the province that would save up to Rs.6.10 billion.

In a press briefing, the recommendations for abolishing the posts had been made by the chief secretary and inspector general of police and forwarded to the chief minister by the cabinet committee headed by Mr Khosa on Friday.

Belt-tightening: Khosa announced the abolition of a total of 550 posts of officers in various departments. He said under the new austerity and rightsizing drive, 234 posts of executive district officers (EDOs) and DDOs, two posts of BS-20 in the Planning and Development (P&D) Department and two posts of members of the Chief Minister’s Inspection Team would be abolished. Khosa said 89 posts, including three posts of additional IGPs (BS-21), nine posts of DIGs (BS-20),one post of SSP (survey), seven posts of SPs (BS-19) and 69 posts of DSPs (BS-17) in the Punjab Home Department would also be abolished.

He said the government had decided to merge Social Welfare, Women Development, Baitul Maal, Zakat and Ushr as well as Child Protection Bureau of the Home Department into a single department named Social Protection and Zakat Department. Khosa said four posts of divisional commissioners (BS-21) in Sargodha, Sahiwal, Bahawalpur and Dera Ghazi Khan districts have been downgraded to BS-20, adding that all the district coordination officers would be of BS-20 without exception.

In a landmark decision, he said, seven posts of special secretaries were being abolished except in the finance, home, health and local government departments. The senior adviser said that half of the 58 officers of the All-Pakistan Unified Group (APUG) working on deputation in Punjab would be repatriated to their parent departments in the federal government, which would create room for PCS officers in the province. The Punjab government has decided to exclude revenue administration from the local government system by introducing an amendment to the Punjab Local Governments Ordinance.
