Officers of the Balochistan Civil Secretariat, under the auspices of the Balochistan Civil Secretariat Officers Welfare Association, rallied and held a protest demonstration Monday, demanding the implementation of a provincial cabinet decision passed on Aug. 12, 2021.

Organized by the Balochistan Civil Secretariat Officers Welfare Association, the demonstration called for addressing issues related to share distribution, pay and allowances, and the cancellation of illegal postings and contract appointments of retired officers.

Speakers, including Zaheer Baloch and Essa Hazara, criticized the promotion of noncadre officers to positions reserved for Balochistan Secretariat Services (BSS) cadre and called for the removal of retired officers serving on contracts. Protesters marched through the Secretariat, ending the demonstration at Block No. 2 while chanting slogans in support of their demands.
