TDS Desk:

The government has promoted 22 more officials from the post of deputy secretary to joint secretary.

The Public Administration Ministry issued a gazette notification in this regard on Tuesday.

As per tradition, the officials were made officers on special duty (OSD) after their promotion.

The promoted joint secretaries have been instructed to submit their joining letters either in person to the Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration or by email.

If an officer’s place of employment has changed from the one specified in the promotion order, the officer in question must mention it in their joining letter.

The notification further states that the authority reserves the right to modify or revoke the order if any contrary or unfavourable information is found against any officer in the future.

Earlier on August 18, a total of 201 deputy secretaries were promoted to the rank of joint secretary.
