ISLAMABAD: Following the National Assembly’s dissolution, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has imposed a ban on all federal-level appointments and transfers. The decision was conveyed to the secretary of the Establishment Division through a letter on Thursday.
The letter outlined that this ban was enacted in light of the National Assembly (NA) and federal cabinet dissolution. It underlined that all forms of appointments and transfers must be suspended until a caretaker setup is established.
