Hiring of outsiders as grain supervisors opposed

Report Zahiruddin, Chitral

District Nazim Chitral Maghfirat Shah has expressed anguish over appointment of non-local people against vacant posts of food grain supervisor in the food department and termed it a joke with the people of Chitral.

Talking to journalists here on Monday, he alleged that the provincial government had ignored local candidates with higher qualifications.

He said non-locals could not discharge their duties in far-flung areas of the district where grain godowns of the departments were situated.

He called upon the government to cancel forthwith the appointment of non-local people against lower posts in the district and advertise the posts afresh for locals only.
