In Punjab, the additional chief secretary has formally announced the abolition of 101 section officer (BS-17) posts across 40 administrative departments. This decision, which was made in the previous month, has sparked controversy among PMS officers who claim that PAS officers are taking unilateral decisions and demoting their junior colleagues.
To address their concerns, the government initially posted 35 AACs in various tehsils, with 22 PMS officers and 13 PAS officers filling these positions. However, the government has now issued a fresh notification to post 26 AACs from the abolished section officer ranks in the field, transferring 24 PMS officers and assigning an AC (UT) additional charge of the Vehari AAC post.
Additionally, a PAS officer serving as Taunsa AAC has been transferred and posted as DG Khan AAC to fill a vacant position.
