The federal government has recommended three names for the post of Sindh inspector general, sources said Wednesday, as the centre-Sindh row over IG Mushtaq Mahar continues to deepen.
It began with the arrest of Sindh Assembly Opposition Leader
Haleem Adil Sheikh last week. He is accused of violating electoral rules and
interfering with an anti-encroachment operation in Malirâs Memon Goth.
On Monday, Sindh Governor Imran Ismail said he had written a letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan, seeking immediate removal of IG Mahar. He wished for a police chief in Sindh “who may not oblige anyone”.

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will take up issues relating to the local government elections in Sindh, Balochistan and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) on February 11, as legal and administrative hiccups continue to impede the holding of elections.
Sources in the ECP said though the electoral body was geared up for conducting the local government elections [in the provinces and the federal capital], it awaited the provincial governments and the ICT administration to do the needful besides the official publication of the Population Census, 2017.
However, to have a fresh look at the matter and get updates from the provinces on the directions given to them earlier, the commission will meet here on February 11 at 10:00am.

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has proposed conduct of coming local government (LG) elections across the country in three phases in view of the four-time larger magnitude of the exercise as compared to general polls, according to informed sources.
Sharing details of a series of meetings of the commission on conduct of LG polls held earlier this week, the sources told Dawn that all the provinces still wanted to delay the polls on the pretext of their intention to make substantive changes in the local government laws.
The sources said the participants, including provincial ministers and senior bureaucrats, were told that the total number of constituencies for National and provincial assemblies came to 849, whereas the number of constituencies for LG polls in Punjab alone was 25,000.
