Section Officer has to perform duties as directed by seniors. Draft laws, put up notes, prepare summaries, manage the relevant record and data of concerned department. Reply to letters, communicate with other departments etc. He is the head of concerned section. All the orders are issued by Section Officer after approval from the competent authority.

Job of Section Officer is very tiresome. No power and no facilities. In Balochistan Secretariat most of the Section Officers have no individual Offices rather they sit with office staff i.e. Clerk, Naib Qasid, Assistant etc so there is no privacy. You are always directed :P
