KARACHI: In a major reshuffle at the top municipal posts in the city, the Sindh government on Saturday has removed Iftikhar Shallwani as the administrator and commissioner of Karachi.
According to a notification issued by the provincial authorities, Laeeq Ahmed was appointed as the new administrator of the metropolis, while Shallwani was replaced by Navid Ahmed Shaikh as commissioner Karachi.
It is worth mentioning here that Iftikhar Shallwani was appointed as the first administrator of Karachi three months back after the elected municipal representatives completed their four-year tenure.
Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari at that time lauded the government’s decision and hoped that Iftikhar Shalawani will prove to be a good administrator for Karachi.
Shallwani was appointed as commissioner of Karachi twice, one before getting the portfolio of administrator Karachi and the second time after Sohail Rajput left the seat vacant recently.
