The government has sought the details of the vacant positions of staffers at the local level.
The Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration has written to the local bodies asking them to submit the number of positions that remain unfilled after the integration of staffers.
The local bodies have been asked to send a virtual order for staffers also including the positions that will be vacant following impending retirement by the end of current fiscal year, or vacancies resulting from death or sacking of any staffers or any other reason.
The federal government has been planning to send staffers to the provinces and local bodies by recruiting through the Public Service Commission (PSC) until the provincial PSCs are formed.
