PESHAWAR: District Education Officer (DEO) Kohistan Upper Yasmeen has terminated the services of two newly appointed drivers due to pressure and threats from a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) and sent copies of his letter to the authorities concerned.
The PTI MPA from Kohistan district had allegedly warned the female DEO of dire consequences if she did not withdraw the appointment orders of the drivers. She wrote that there was an example of such threats in the case of Nawab Ali, a male DEO, who was killed in October 2019 in his office.
