ISLAMABAD: This is widely believed that serving in any administrative position in Islamabad is a very difficult, risky, sensitive, but pathetic and feeble task.
It has been seen that over the past few decades there is absolutely, no security of the tenure given in the rule books. Hardly a few Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) and the Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS) officers completed tenure in their respective offices. Islamabad being the ‘seat of power’ is full of politicians as well as the senior-most bureaucrats. The officers have to face and follow heavy political interference, something that makes it difficult, if not impossible, for the administrative officers to perform without intercession, which makes it hard for them to work and take decisions on merit.
