The federal government has posted Chaudhry Muhammad Ali Randhawa to a new federal assignment following his removal as Chief Commissioner Islamabad and Chairman of the Capital Development Authority (CDA).
According to an official notification issued by the Establishment Division, Randhawa, a BS-20 officer of the Pakistan Administrative Service, has been transferred and appointed as Director General Immigration and Passports under the Interior and Narcotics Control Division with immediate effect and until further orders.
The posting comes days after the federal government replaced him in Islamabad’s top administrative slot as part of a broader reshuffle in the federal capital’s management structure.
Earlier, the Cabinet Division appointed Lt. (Retd.) Sohail Ashraf as the new Chief Commissioner Islamabad after federal approval.
A Grade-20 PAS officer, Sohail Ashraf previously served as Secretary Communications and Works in the Punjab government and has earlier worked as Deputy Commissioner Faisalabad and Deputy Commissioner Mandi Bahauddin.
Officials say he is also likely to be given the additional charge of CDA chairman, a position that oversees Islamabad’s urban development, regulation, and municipal administration.
The latest transfer formally concludes Randhawa’s tenure in Islamabad while placing him in charge of the country’s immigration and passport administration at the federal level.
