Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah said on Friday that Sindh will create its own police cadre to meet officers’ shortage. He has taken the decision for lowering dependence on federal government.

“Sindh is the first province in the country to start its mandatory courses of Mid-Career Management Course (MCMC) and Senior Management Course (SMC) of the level and quality of the federal government institutions through our provincial Training Management and Research (TMR) Wing.”

“We have decided to further strengthen provincial service and create a provincial police cadre so that the provincial government’s dependence on the federal government for provision of PAS and PSP officers could be lowered.”

This he said while addressing the graduation ceremony of first-MCMC conducted by Training Management and research (TMR) here at CM House. The ceremony was attended by Chief Secretary Mumtaz Shah, Secretary TMR Tamizuddin Khero, provincial secretaries and faculty members of TMR.

Shah said that for years, the Sindh government has been striving to provide opportunities to the civil servants to improve their professional competence through different training programs aiming at professional development and mastering the modern techniques of decision-making. “I strongly believe that after completing this course [MCMC], the participants will be putting up to higher standards of morality and efficiency in performance of their duty and will make a difference in the lives of people of Sindh province.,” he said and added, “we should not forget that an efficient and upright civil service has the potential to make a nation great and  I am looking forward to seeing the impacts you are going to have for the betterment of the province and the country.”

The chief minister said that he had directed Chief Secretary to create provincial police cadre so that shortage of the officers could be met upto grade BS-21.

Chief Secretary Mumtaz Shah addressing the MCMC graduates urged them to be honest in their work and apply their skills, abilities and course techniques in the field so that people of the province could be served in true letter and spirit.

He assured the chief minister that he would make all out efforts to make the TMR as one of the best academies of the country.

The Secretary TMR, in his speech, spoke of limited promotion opportunities for provincial civil servants in grade BS-21 and 22. I would like to improve this situation and direct SGA&CD to propose remedies in this regard.

Some 60 officers of different provincial service have successfully completed the first MCMC course from the provincial TMR to qualify for promotion from grade BS-18 to BS-19. (PR)
