Summary An official was sacked and put back on job with three hours gap
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Local issues involving water supply and dumps remain unsolved in Sindh’s capital while the government contentedly keeps on changing administrators, Dunya News reported Thursday.
On January 7 2015, Rauf Akhtar Farooqui was sacked and Saqib Soomro was appointed as the administrator who flew abroad in July. Roshan Sheikh took the vacant post for three days in August after which Commissioner Shoaib Siddique was given additional charge as administrator.
In September, Sajjad Abbasi took charge and was relieved from service in March 2016.
