\nThe federal government has appointed Colonel (retd) Mohammad Asif Zaman as the new director-general of the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) on a contract basis for three years.
\nA notification released by the Establishment Division on Tuesday confirmed the appointment. \u201cThe competent authority is pleased to appoint Col (r) Mohammad Asif Zaman as the director-general Pakistan Sports Board, under Inter-Provincial Division, on contract basis, for a period of three (03) years as per terms and conditions laid down in Director General, Pakistan Sports Board, Appointment Rules, 2020, w.e.f. the date of joining and until further orders,\u201d it said.
\nWhile talking to the correspondent, Col Zaman said that \u201cmerit\u201d and \u201charmony\u201d will be the keywords of his stay in the office. \u201cI will take the government and minister\u2019s decisions forward and will try to implement these policies to the best of my abilities,\u201d he said.
\nThe former junior international squash player said he wanted to make life easier for athletes. \u201cWe are all there for the athletes and to see them performing to the best of their abilities should be our goal. My efforts will be to help them give their best to earn laurels for the country.\u201d
\nThe post of the DG fell vacant at the retirement of Dr Akhtar Nawaz Ganjera more than two years back. Since then the IPC Ministry was running the affairs on an ad hoc basis. All the joint secretaries (during their respective stay in the ministry) took the ad hoc charge for three months each.
\nThe notification issued by the Establishment Division has given a passing remark of the pending case in the Islamabad High Court in which Mansoor Ahmad (Deputy Director-General Administration PSB) has pleaded that the IPC Ministry should have considered him for the post.
\n\u201cThe said appointment is subject to the final outcome of W.P. No.3778\/2020 Islamabad High Court,\u201d the notification said.
\nThe new PSB DG\u2019s appointment and legality depend on the outcome of the court verdict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
