KP approves changes to schedule of posts

PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to withdraw the posts of eight chairmen of the Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISEs) from the schedule of posts and restrict the posting of provincial service officers to the Civil Secretariat.
It also decided that all the field posts of assistant commissioners (ACs), assistant political agents (APAs) and additional assistant commissioners (AACs) will go to the officers of the Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS).
The chief minister has already approved the summary (copy available with The News) of the Establishment Department seeking changes to the schedule of posts and withdrawal of the Civil Petition Leave for Appeal (CPLA) in the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) against the judgment of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) terming the inclusion of eight chairmen of BISEs in it as illegal.
After the implementation of the provincial government’s decision and withdrawal of the CPLA, only the posts of the provincial civil service (PCS) and provincial management service (PMS) officers will not be hacked, but their posting will also be restricted to the secretariat.
The summary that was submitted to the chief minister by secretary Establishment on March 5 said that certain posts in autonomous and semi-autonomous bodies have been included in the schedule of posts.
