Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan wants the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) information ministry to reinstate around 140 employees who were dismissed last year, Express News reported.
In July 2014, the provincial interior ministry had removed around 140 employees as part of a down sizing drive. Of these, 28 were employees of grade 17 to grade 19.
Taking notice of the situation, PTI chief on Wednesday asked the provincial information ministry to reinstate the removed employees.
K-P information minister Mushtaq Ghani told Express News that these employees were let go under a down sizing drive but later on the ministry felt that there was a dearth of information officers, PROs for ministers.
Chief Minister Pervez Khattak took up the matter with PTI chief after the information ministry requested their reinstatement. Subsequently, Imran approved the reinstatement of these officers.
