Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has announced that Jhang Deputy Commissioner Babar Sahib Din will be immediately removed from his position following the use of a Pera vehicle for non-serious purposes during a jeep rally. The three-day Jhang Thal Jeep Rally, held in collaboration with private sponsors, concluded last week and was praised by provincial government authorities.
A video surfaced on social media showing a Pera vehicle participating in the event, which led Maryam to express concern over the breach of administrative discipline and violation of policy. The Punjab government's Services and General Administration Department has confirmed that DC Sahib Din has been transferred with immediate effect.
Maryam clarified that security and rescue functions were not the responsibility of Pera, and the misuse of its vehicles during the rally raised questions about their appropriate use.
