No new hires at Islamabad jail; minister confirms deployment of current staff from other government units.
Minister Talal Chaudhry of the Ministry of State for Interior and Narcotics Control informed the National Assembly on Monday that the government is not planning any fresh recruitment for the Islamabad jail. Instead, he stated, existing personnel will be redeployed from various departments to handle the facility's needs. This decision comes as a response to recent concerns about staffing levels at the jail.
The minister clarified that while no new hires are being considered, efforts are underway to ensure adequate coverage and operational efficiency within the jail. He emphasized that this approach aims to maintain the quality of service provided by the prison staff without compromising on security or compliance with regulations.
This development was first reported by Associated Press Of Pakistan and reflects a strategic reallocation of resources aimed at optimizing existing manpower for the Islamabad jail's operations. The move underscores the government’s commitment to managing public facilities efficiently through internal redeployment rather than introducing additional external hires.
