Officer penalized by being assigned washroom oversight duty at Karachi Airport

An assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) immigration wing has been assigned to an administrative post at Karachi airport, with duties related to cleanliness, pest control and sewerage maintenance.

ASI Munawar Mehdi has been placed in charge of administrative oversight of washroom cleanliness, pest-control measures and sewerage upkeep at the airport, in coordination with airport management authorities.

Under the order, Mehdi has been instructed to submit hourly reports on the condition of airport washrooms and to supervise pest-control activity in sewerage areas within the premises.

Sources at Karachi airport said the posting followed the outcome of an internal inquiry against the officer. They added that the inquiry officer had recommended that Mehdi not be posted at any immigration check-post in future.

Under the inquiry outcome, the FIA posted Mehdi to the Deputy Director’s Office and shifted him to an administrative assignment, which officials said was consistent with the inquiry’s recommendations.
