@Asad, Bilal and emtions- Brothers PMS Service structure has improved enourmously and in future further improvement is very much likely.First time in the history of Pakistan a PMS(EX PCS) Officer, Mr Naseem Sadiq, is posted as DCO Lahore. There are 142 posts of ACs in Punjab from which around 130 are PMS Officers.It may be surprise for you people that a PMS Officer Mr Asim Saleem (Currently AC Bahwalupr City and previously AC Multan City) has been twice awarded by CM Punjab as being best AC in the Punjab.
Morever PMS officers have been posted in Urban Area including Lahore. Currently AC Model Town Lahore Mr Shakeel Bahtti is PMS Officer of 2007 batch. Mr Asad Raza Kazmi of the same batch is AC Allama Iqbal Town . Bye the way post of AC in remote/rural areas is more lucrative then in urban areas.
This is not to say that every thing is OK with PMS. Promotion process of PMS inspite of having been reduced from 17 to 10 years is much slow. Besides PMS Representation is negligible in powerfull positions such as adminstrative secretaries. Principally Add Chief Secretary should be a PMS Officer.Cuurently there are 11 seats of PMS Officers in Grade 21 against which only three officers have been promoted. DMGs blocks the promotions of PMS Officers for one reason or another.
The real woes of PMS /PCS Officers emanate from the notrious Moeen Qureshi Formula wherein the quota of PMS Officers in higher grades has been drastically reduced. DMG has got a quota allocated which is twice its numerical strength in the province.PMS assosiation has filed a case in court whereby they have pleaded the court to set aside this discriminatory formula. If it happnes so then promotion in higher grades will be based upon numerical strength of respective grades.This plea holds a solid ground .If accepted , it will fasten the promotion process of PMS officers.
