Quetta : Chief Minister of Balochistan, Mir Sarfraz Bugti, has immediately suspended the appointment of retired officer Murad Miri to a senior administrative position, citing legal and public concerns
The appointment, made in violation of prescribed rules and regulations, sparked significant backlash on social media and among the public.
Upon reviewing the matter, the Chief Minister ordered the suspension of the notification with immediate effect.
According to official sources, Murad Miri had been appointed as Technical Advisor to the Chief Minister’s Inspection Team.
