ISLAMABAD: In a major initiative to strengthen the bureaucratic set-up in Balochistan, Prime Minister Raja Pervez Asrhaf has revisited the policy of posting and transfer of civil servants in the province.
During the recent months, Balochistan has seen reluctance on part of bureaucracy to serve in the province because of the law and order situation and many officers having domicile from other provinces even refused to serve in the province because of threats to their lives.
The Prime Minister’s House spokesman on Sunday said the prime minister, during his recent visit to Balochistan, had issued directions to devise a policy for appointment of capable, honest and senior officials of law enforcement agencies to improve law and order situation in the province.
In accordance with the policy of the government to arrest the fast deteriorating law and order situation in the province, the prime minister had revisited the policy of transfer of PAS/DMG/PSP officers to Balochistan and accorded approval to a new policy in that regard, he said.
The restoration of law and order and peace in Balochistan was one of the top priorities of the Pakistan People’s Party-led coalition government, the prime minister had said during his visit to Balochistan, adding that the federal government would fully assist the provincial government in that regard.
