Provincial Minister for Transport Shah Muhammad Wazir, Members Provincial Assembly Asif Khan and Ayesha Naeem, administrative secretaries and others attended the meeting.
Mahmood Khan maintained that realistic criteria should be used for screening tests and interviews. He said the questions being asked in the tests should be relevant to the field for which the staff was needed instead of irrelevant questions.
