PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister (CM) Pervez Khattak on Tuesday directed the high-ups of all departments of the provincial government to share their professional experiences and institutional memory of the departments with their incumbents, so that the newly posted officers could easily continue and run the affairs after transfer or retirement of their seniors to ensure continuity of institutional work.
