Last two years: Over 1,500 officers recruited in AJK

MUZAFFARABAD: The Azad Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (AJKPSC) has recruited more than 1,500 young officers in different government departments during the last two years. AJKPSC Chairman Justice (retd) Khawaja Shahad Ahmad told AJK President Sardar Yaqoob Khan during a meeting here on Wednesday. The AJKPSC chairman along with other members met the president. “The inductions have been made on merit and none of them have any political backing and even a good number of them belong to poor families of remote areas of AJK,” Justice Ahmad said. The AJK president agreed to enhance perks and salaries of AJKPSC members equal to that of Punjab Public Service Commission members. The president also directed the AJK chief secretary to allot the present President Secretariat to the AJKPSC for official use.
