PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has decided to terminate employees hired during the caretaker government\u2019s tenure, ARY News reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As per details, a letter has been issued to Chief Secretary and other department heads, urging the termination of government employees hired between January 22, 2023, and February 29, 2024.<\/p>\n

The notification stated that the termination process should be completed with in thirty days.<\/p>\n

Earlier, a bill, titled the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Employees Bill 2025, was drafted to facilitate the dismissals, which will affect employees hired between January 22, 2023, and February 29, 2024.<\/p>\n

The proposed bill exempted employees hired through the commission, including those recruited under the children and minority quotas. A seven-member committee, headed by the Secretary Establishment, will be formed to oversee the process and address any obstacles that may arise during the terminations.<\/p>\n

The committee\u2019s decisions will be final, and all departments will be required to submit reports on the recruitments within 30 days. The bill aims to declare the caretaker government\u2019s recruitments illegal and pave the way for the termination of affected employees.<\/p>\n

This development comes after an inquiry exposed 566 illegal posts created during the caretaker government\u2019s tenure, resulting in an annual loss of PKR 480 million to the public exchequer.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Finance Department issued a stern warning to government employees for skipping official office hours. Negligence may result in salary deductions, transfers, or disciplinary actions.<\/p>\n

In response to public complaints, a notification was sent to all provincial offices and departments, instructing employees to strictly follow office timings from 9 AM to 5 PM.<\/p>\n

The directive emphasizes that negligence in fulfilling official responsibilities will not be tolerated, and strict actions will be taken against violators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
