Order withdrawn: Sindh govt cancels police transfers

KARACHI: The Sindh government has withdrawn its decision to hand over the services of Sindh Police’s four senior officials to the Establishment Division in Islamabad. About a couple of days ago, the provincial government had issued a notification to hand over services of four officials including former Karachi AIG Ghulam Qadir Thebo, Additional IG Counter-Terrorism Department Sanaullah Abbasi, Criminal Investigation Agency former chief Sultan Ali Khuwaja and former District South SSP Tariq Raza Dharejo. These officials were directed to report to the establishment division in Islamabad.  However, the Sindh government withdrew its decision on Monday and cancelled its orders. Sources said the decision was taken after the military establishment expressed its serious concerns over the decision.
