Rescue 1122 has planned to appoint regional emergency officers (REOs) by upgrading district emergency officers (DEOs) at the divisional level in coming days. A spokesman said on Tuesday that the decision has been taken to delegate administrative and financial powers to REOs in nine divisions of the province. The source stated that four districts will be included in a region, adding that Khanewal, Vehari, Multan and Lodhran would be under the REO Multan. The notification was likely to be issued before Eidul Azha, the spokesman said and added that DEOs promoted to grade-19 would be deputed at divisional level as REOs.
