Govt ends quota for deceased employee's relative

ISLAMABAD:

The government has officially terminated the facility that allowed a family member of a government employee who died in service to secure employment.

In line with a recent Supreme Court ruling, the Establishment Division has issued instructions to all ministries and divisions to implement the decision without delay.

However, an official memorandum confirms that government employees who die while in service will continue to receive other benefits under the PM's Assistance Package. The new directive will not apply to law enforcement personnel who are martyred in terrorist incidents.
