The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has reshuffled 10 officers across different divisions, according to an official notification issued on Monday (January 2).
Surprisingly, the reshuffle came just before the four-year tenure of PTA Chairman Major General (Retd) Amir Azeem Bajwa ended.
According to sources, the process for the appointment of a new chairman has been initiated by the federal government and it will take 3 more weeks to complete. The outgoing chairman was asked to continue working till the appointment of a new chairman to run the day-to-day affairs of the authority. However, according to sources Bajwa decided against continuing any further.
It is pertinent to mention here that the federal government had recently rejected a summary for a four-year extension in the tenure of the outgoing chairman.
