KARACHI: Senior police officials, who have been serving in the Sindh police for years, have been transferred today (Saturday) under the government’s new rotation policy.
The transferred officers would not be able to get postings back in Sindh for the next two years. A notification has also been issued in this regard.
According to the notification, DIG Special Branch Irfan Baloch has been transferred to Islamabad, while DIG Munir Sheikh has also been transferred to Punjab.
The services of DIG Fida Hussain Mastoi have been handed over to the Motorway Police and DIG Qamar Zaman and DIG Traffic Karachi Iqbal Dara have also been transferred to Punjab.
Earlier in August 2019, the PTI government notified a new rotation policy for the Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS) and Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) and announced its implementation with effect from January 1, 2021.
The new rotation policy was linked with the promotion of the officers to ensure that all governments are served by PAS/PSP officers in various grades and the tendency of officers to remain in one government for years by bringing extraneous pressures is checked and curbed.
