Power struggle: Government cancels transfer orders issued by Arshad Vohra
Vohra is upset with Jamil for cancelling his order and carrying out the orders of the Sindh government
KARACHI:
In the ongoing struggle for power between the Sindh local government department and the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC), the Sindh government has cancelled posting orders by deputy mayor Arshad Vohra.
On October 17, the metropolitan commissioner, Badar Jamil, with the approval of Vohra had ordered around 10 transfers and postings of different KMC officers of grades 18 and 19.
Taking exception to these postings and transfers, the local government department on October 18 wrote a letter to the KMC's metropolitan commissioner - a copy of which is also available with The Express Tribune - stating that deputy mayor acted without the approval of administrative department or competent authority.
The letter said that the competent authority has taken serious consideration of the situation and has cancelled/withdrawn the order of the transfer and posting with immediate effect. Resultantly on November 2, Jamil withdrew the transfer orders through another notification.
Vohra is upset with Jamil for cancelling his order and carrying out the orders of the Sindh government, said a KMC official, requesting anonymity.
