LAHORE: The promotion of three BS-20 police officers, including Lahore Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Umar Sheikh, may again hang in the balance as the Central Selection Board (CSB) is scheduled to meet in Islamabad on Jan 4 to decide the fate of 55 officers.
Deputy inspector general (DIG)-ranked officers Ahmad Ishaq Jahangir and retired Capt Feroze Shah were also among those whose cases would be reviewed for promotion. These three officers from the Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) were superseded by the previous selection board held in January this year.
On the other hand, two members of the upcoming selection board were also part of the previous CSB that had opposed the promotions of the abovementioned officials, including the CCPO, and also written strong dissenting remarks. Resultantly, the CSB had superseded the three officials.
