KARACHI:

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that Sindh is the first province in the country to start its mandatory courses of Mid-Career Management Course (MCMC) and Senior Management Course (SMC) of the level and quality of the federal government institutions through provincial Training Management and Research (TMR) Wing.

"We have decided to further strengthen provincial service and create a provincial police cadre so that the provincial government's dependence on the federal government for provision of Pakistan Administrative Services (PAS) and Police Services of Pakistan (PSP) officers could be mitigated," he said according to a statement issued on Friday.

He was addressing the first MCMC conducted by Training Management and Research (TMR) at CM House. The ceremony was attended by Chief Secretary Mumtaz Shah, Secretary TMR Tamizuddin Khero, provincial secretaries and faculty members of TMR.

at 60 officers of different provincial service have successfully completed the first MCMC course from the provincial TMR to qualify for promotion from grade BS-18 to BS-19.
