QUETTA: In a recent development, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has issued a directive to the Chief Secretary of Balochistan, Shakeel Qadir, to initiate the reshuffling of provincial secretaries who were previously excluded from the recent bureaucratic reshuffling. This directive was delivered during a meeting between the ECP and CS Balochistan, which took place on Wednesday in Islamabad.
Shakeel Qadir Khan meets ECP officials
The meeting between Shakeel Qadir Khan, the Chief Secretary of Balochistan, and ECP officials revolved around the crucial matter of transfers and postings within the province. The ECP’s primary objective is to ensure the transparency and fairness of the electoral process in the country.
Transfer secretaries: ECP
As part of this commitment, the ECP has instructed the Chief Secretary to undertake the reshuffling of provincial secretaries who had remained unaffected by the reshuffling process that occurred after the formation of the caretaker government on August 18th in Balochistan.
Key provincial secretaries were exempted from transfer
This directive follows a significant reshuffling of the bureaucratic structure in Balochistan, which was orchestrated under the guidance of the ECP. Notably, certain key provincial secretaries were exempted from the initial wave of transfers and postings.
The ECP has taken note of this and is now urging their inclusion in the reshuffling process to uphold the principles of transparency and fairness in the lead-up to the upcoming elections.
