Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan Friday said the federal cabinet has given approval to Mushtaq Mahar’s appointment as inspector general of police (IGP) in Sindh.
In a tweet, she said the appointment of new IGP has been made on the demand of Sindh government and after consultation with the provincial governor. She expressed the hope that the new IGP will act above political affiliations and work for improvement of law and order and bring to book the criminal elements.
An official notification issued by the Establishment Division read, “Mushtaq Mahar, a grade 22 officer serving as the inspector general of Pakistan Railways police, has been transferred and posted as the provincial police officer, government of Sindh, with immediate effect.”
Meanwhile, according to a separate notification issued by the Establishment Division, Dr Syed Kaleem Imam has been transferred and posted as the National Highways and Motorways Police inspector general with immediate effect.
Earlier, the Sindh government in its January 16 letter to the Establishment Division had cited ‘compelling reasons’ for Imam’s repatriation. According to the letter, a review of the crime situation in Sindh had shown an ‘increase in the incidence of crimes such as kidnapping for ransom, extortion, mobile snatching and vehicles snatching during Imam’s tenure’. Subsequently, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah had requested Prime Minister Imran Khan to replace Imam during a one-on-one meeting in Karachi.
