It termed the appointment a violation of service rules and an encroachment on the rights of the relevant cadres.<br \/>\nIt also disputed the use of the term \u201cdeputation\u201d in the notification, saying the arrangement could not be used to transfer an officer from one department of the provincial government to a cadre post in another department.<br \/>\nThe association maintained that such appointments undermined the established service structure, affected officers\u2019 morale and could set a precedent for further encroachments on scheduled posts.<br \/>\nIt called upon the chief secretary to withdraw the notification and fill the post with an eligible PMS or PAS officer within three days.<br \/>\nThe association warned that failure to withdraw the order would prompt it to launch a protest at the highest level, including taking up the matter with the governor, and pursue all available legal remedies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PESHAWAR The Provincial Management Service (PMS) Officers Association, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has rejected the posting of a non-cadre officer as Special Secretary Agriculture and demanded withdrawal of the notification within three days.
