An Assistant Director at Faisalabad Airport was also dismissed after charges of negligence in the 2023 Greece boat tragedy were proven. A Deputy Director posted at Multan Airport has been demoted in rank and salary for three years over alleged links with human smugglers.
Two senior investigators were dismissed for poor investigation, while an Assistant Database Administrator was terminated for negligence and carelessness. Four Assistant Directors and one Inspector faced a reduction of their basic salary for one to three years due to absenteeism, negligence, and weak investigation.
