LAHORE – The Federal Promotion Board for BPS-19 to 20 has decided to reduce seats of police officials from 25 to 9, reducing possibilities of promotion of senior police officials and hurting their career prospects in the long-run. While promotions are hard to come by for police officials, plenty of seats for both DMG and Secretariat groups, show discrimination being meted out to the Police Service,
who is doing a valuable service to the country by combating terrorism. As opposed to the grand total of only nine police officials picked for promotion by the board, 74 officials from DMG and 51 from Secretariat Group are being short-listed for next grades. FPSC Chairman Justice (r) Rana Bhagwandas chairs the board for promotions of top bureaucrats.
