Councillor Metropolitan Corporation Khuzdar, Raees Bashir Ahmed on Thursday alleged that Acting Chief Officer, Metropolitan Corporation Khuzdar had appointed his near and dear ones against 25 posts lying vacant in MC, Jhuzdar in March 2023 without advertising the vacant positions.

Addressing a press conference at Quetta Press Club, he said that instead of regularising the services of daily wage employees of Metropolitan Corporation Khuzdar against 25 posts lying vacant in Metropolitan Corporation Khuzdar, Acting Chief Officer, Metropolitan Corporation Khuzdar appointed his relatives against the vacant posts, adding that newly appointed candidates were not the local of Khuzdar.

He said that judgment of the Supreme Court clearly read that vacant post was to advertised in the leading newspapers, but Acting Chief Officer, Metropolitan Corporation Khuzdar in blatant violation of the apex court’s decision made appointments against vacant posts without advertising vacant posts.

He called on Chief Minister Balochistan, Chief Secretary Balochistan, Secretary, Services and General Administration Department, Government of Balochistan and other concerned authorities to take notice of the issue.
