So naturally these positions will be filled by DMG officers from all over the country. Higher grade DMG officers at the position of DC or Commissioners prefer DMGs as AC. I belong to a small town and clearly remember DMG officers belonging to Sahiwal and Lahore posted as AC in our locality.

This move of the Sindh Govt. will help DMG officers but will disturb the PCS officers because the presence of large number of DMGs at higher grade will increase the time of PCS officers’ promotion (At least 15 years for first promotion). PCS officers in Punjab are very late in their promotions because of this very reason along with many others.

In Sindh different PCS batches i.e. 2003 & 2008 are already facing a lot of problems and charges of Corruption, the restoration of Magistracy will further increase the problems.
