The publication, on Saturday, said she was posted at four different positions from February 11 to March 16 this year. The government official, on Feb 11, was first appointed as Assistant Commissioner Quetta.
On the very next day, her appointment was cancelled, and on Feb 16, she was posted as Section Officer Three in the administration department.
