The federal and the Sindh governments have decided to appoint Mir Zubair Mehmood as Inspector General of Police, Sindh.
The Supreme Court had ordered the authorities to fill the vacant post immediately after IG Sindh Shahid Nadeem Baloch retired more than a month ago on February 20.
Mehmood has earlier served as Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) for Quetta. The notification for his appointment will be issued today.
The provincial government had locked horns with the federal government over who to appoint as the new IG of the province. According to the 18th Amendment, the federal government cannot appoint any officer for the post of IG without consulting the provincial government.
The Sindh government had suggested former Karachi police chief Iqbal Mehmood and former Sindh police chief Fayyaz Leghari for the post but the federal government rejected the suggestions. Both the governments have now agreed on the name of Mir Zubair Mehmood.
He said the Taliban-proposed committee was not in contact with the terrorists ever since the talks ended in deadlock after Taliban claimed to slit throats of 23 FC soldiers last week.
