Peshawar; PCS officers association meeting held

Peshawar(Pakistan)March 19

Meeting of the PCS Officers Association was held today at civil secretariat under the Chairmanship of Mr. Ghafoor Beg. All issues regarding civil service were discussed in the meeting and progress checked. It was noted that committee on civil service reforms at federal & provincial level are both going at a snail pace & not ready to take up the structural issues which form the basis of all that ills the governance. Apportionment formulae 93 whereby federal officers have occupied the provincial governments arbitrarily is still to be revoked. Besides, there is no placement board and postings/ transfer are still done without any criteria, career progression & trainings of officers are on the back burner & performance evaluation is subjective. Deputationists from other departments are still being posted on schedule positions illegally & the government won’t respond to appeals made in this regard. Even the Summary for change of nomenclature from AAC to AC is stuck with the Establishment department for last 6 months. The issues of FATA transition and Levy/ Khasaddar force during transition were also discussed. It was reiterated that transition may be done in a controlled manner keeping in view the due feasibility & taking on board all the stakeholders. The Association will meet the honourable Chief Minister, KP in coming week and convey him the aforementioned issues accordingly.

In total, about 40 million civilians, and some 20 million soldiers, lost their lives in the war between 1939 and 1945. On 8 and 9 May, the UN invites its 193 member countries, non-governmental organizations, and individuals, to pay tribute to the victims of the conflict. The date of 8 May was chosen because it is the day the Nazi forces in Germany surrendered in 1945 but, recognizing that UN member states may have their own memorable days associated with the victory over fascism, the General Assembly invited all countries, UN organizations, non-governmental organizations and individuals to celebrate either 8 May, 9 May, or both of these days annually as a tribute to all victims of the Sec...

The DESA briefing finds that millions of workers are at risk of losing their jobs as nearly 100 countries close their national borders. That could translate to a global economic contraction of 0.9 per cent by the end of 2020, or even higher if governments fail to provide income support and help boost consumer spending. Str...
