Honorable Sir,
With due reverence, I intend to procure your good attention on the above cited subject.
The coup of 1999 not only demolished the democratic structure of the country but also shattered the dreams of thousands of aspirants of Civil Service of Pakistan who intend to serve the country by taking CSS examination. The upper age limit for taking CSS examination prior of CSS-2001 was 30 years for general candidates, 33 years for the candidates belonging to backward areas and 35 years for those having 02 years continuous government service. But unfortunately, former military ruler General(R) Pervez Musharaf through an ordinance abruptly lowered the upper age limit to 28 years for general candidates and 30 years for backward areas candidates including government servants having minimum 02 years continuous service in the year 2000, which has been in force since CSS-2001 till now. The lowering of age had hit hard those belonging to the lower middle and middle class segments of society. The severe economic hardships of candidates belonging to this segment of society after graduation/post graduation compels them to have an honorable earnings as their top priority in order to sustain their families and it becomes very difficult for them to spare time and energies to take part in the competitive examination.

Good luck with it but unfortunately it will again be rejected by the same reason ie few people in Grade 22. Please read on to understand why I say so.

Modern medicine and awareness of health issues is causing people to live much longer lives than before. Compared with 1960, the average life expectancy of a Pakistani is much higher today.
Life expectancy in 1960: 46.43 years
Life expectancy in 2016: 67.73...

You raise very interesting points and I believe this fight should now take this direction or at least this is the point that should be highlighted along with others.
To the PM's objection of not finding enough candidates at Grade 22 then can they not raise the age bar for 5 years if a person is eventually promoted to BPS22 like in army when a Gen is declared Chief then age bar is set higher to 65? This way we can demand age bar to be set up higher on both sides ie 33 to 65 (60 if a person is not promoted)???
Also isn't there no age bar on chief of DISCOs (KEPCO, MEPCO etc)?
