ISLAMABAD: On a contract basis for three years the federal government has appointed Colonel (retd) Mohammad Asif Zaman as the new director-general of the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB).
According to a notification issued by the Establishment Division, “The competent authority is pleased to appoint Col (r) Mohammad Asif Zaman as the director-general Pakistan Sports Board, under Inter-Provincial Division, on contract basis, for a period of three (03) years as per terms and conditions laid down in Director General, Pakistan Sports Board, Appointment Rules, 2020, w.e.f. the date of joining and until further orders,” it said.
The notification issued by the Establishment Division has given a passing remark of the pending case in the Islamabad High Court in which Mansoor Ahmad (Deputy Director-General Administration PSB) has pleaded that the IPC Ministry should have considered him for the post.
“The said appointment is subject to the final outcome of W.P. No.3778/2020 Islamabad High Court,” the notification said.
The post of the DG fell vacant at the retirement of Dr Akhtar Nawaz Ganjera more than two years back. Since then the IPC Ministry was running the affairs on an ad hoc basis. All the joint secretaries (during their respective stay in the ministry) took the ad hoc charge for three months each.
