For God sake, depend on Civilians too, why you conduct CSS / SPSC exams?? If you cannot create any competent and honest civilian then you should discontinue these so-called superior services exams and hired all the army officers. My humble suggestion also that post the civilian to the boundaries of the country and give all the government department to army officers
Are all these Army officials has been trained for Digitalization. Has no Pakistani civilian does not fulfil this criteria ! Help Pakistan by not imposing non professional……
Please send some civilians on Pak Afghan and Pak Iran Border to control smuggling and illegal cross border trade.
Someone has to do the job at the borders as well
as obviously those who were trained to protect the borders are not willing to come out of Islamabad.
these people have failed in their own job .failed to control terrorism . failed to control border .yet they still interfer in everything where they have no clue . how they are suppose to digitization??
Please Include professionals in important tasks ….. Non professional people has already done a lot of damage…we are not ready to learn.
Now only one task is left where Military’s supervision and permission is not required i.e. going to the toilet.
Next: You need to ask a Brigadier, the head of a Task Force on Sanitation: Sir, may I go to the Toilet?
If the answer is ‘Yes’, you are lucky. If he says ‘No’ because this act will be a security risk, you are doomed.
