TANK: The residents have expressed resentment over the decision of the KP government to slash key posts from the Agriculture Research Institute at Ratta Kulachi and shift them to other districts.
The social and political circles in Dera Ismail Khan and its adjoining districts said that instead of upgrading the research and academic activities in the area, those at the helm of affairs were bent upon limiting research activities by shifting several key posts of the research officers.
A letter recently issued by the Agriculture, Livestock and Crop Department of KP and addressed to the budget authorities decided to shift six posts, including four positions of senior search officer (BPS 18) while two of research officers (BPS 17) from the Agriculture Research Institute in Dera Ismail Khan to Peshawar ,Charsadda and Swabi without citing any reason.
