This refers to the news report ‘Govt determined to reform civil service structure: Dr Ishrat’ (November 16). This is a step taken in the right direction and it is hoped that the authorities will also consider bringing much-needed reforms to different state-owned institutions, including PIA, Pakistan Steel Mills and Pakistan Railways. These organisations are facing the problem of over/under staffing and the lack of high-tech equipment.
There is a dire need to upgrade the level of infrastructure of such organisation and turn them into profit-making businesses. There is also a dire need to ensure that all recruitments made in the organisations are merit-based. If these steps are adopted in an efficient manner, the country will finally be able to walk on the path to progress.
