An important meeting held here on Monday with provincial minister for law and parliamentary affairs in the chair, reviewed the regularization of employees serving under various development projects in the erstwhile FATA, a handout said.
The meeting was attended by minister for public health engineering Fazal Shakoor Khan, advisor to the Chief Minister on finance Muzammil Aslam via Zoom, and senior officials from the Planning and Development and Establishment Departments.
Officials reviewed the legal and administrative status of project employees who were made permanent under the “Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Regularization of Services of Employees of Formerly FATA Act 2021” and the posts attached to them.
The discussion focused on harmonizing legal requirements, court decisions, and administrative needs, including the clear demarcation of planning and non-planning cadre. A proposal was also considered to regularize project employees while declaring their posts as “dying cadre” upon retirement to avoid unnecessary financial and administrative burden and maintain system sustainability.
Law minister Aftab Alam Khan emphasized that justice, transparency, and adherence to the law would guide the resolution.
He affirmed the government’s commitment to protecting employees’ legitimate rights while strengthening the provincial administrative structure.
The forum agreed that the matter would be submitted to relevant forums for a final, legally and administratively feasible decision.
