Sindh Lifts Ban on Govt Jobs Grades 1-4, Starts Merit-Based Hiring
Sindh Lifts Ban on Government Recruitments, Starts Process

The Government of Sindh has officially lifted a ban on public sector hiring for entry-level positions, paving the way for thousands of new jobs. This major decision follows a directive from the courts and has been formally approved by the provincial cabinet.

Transparent Recruitment Process Initiated

Deputy Commissioner of Kambar Shahdadkot district, Imdad Ali Abro, confirmed the development. He stated that the provincial Services Department has issued a formal notification to all Deputy Commissioners and relevant department heads. The recruitment drive for positions from Grade 1 to Grade 4 is now active across Sindh.

Abro emphasized that the entire process is built on a foundation of transparency and merit. "The recruitment process has been initiated on a clean, transparent, impartial, and purely merit-based foundation," he said during a special conversation with media personnel. He assured that all offer letters are being issued only after fulfilling every legal requirement and regulation.

Key Decisions and Clarifications

The Deputy Commissioner provided crucial details about the implementation. He explained that the tenure of selection committees formed for the 2021-22 recruitment advertisements has been extended until June 30, 2026. This move allows previously stalled processes to move forward.

In a significant clarification, Abro strongly refuted rumors circulating on social media. He denied the existence of any fake lists of successful candidates and labeled such posts as the work of mischievous elements. "Offer orders for successful candidates had already been issued back in 2023, and this matter has also been under hearing in the High Court," he stated, asserting that there is no truth to claims of changes in the final lists.

Quotas and Legal Compliance Ensured

Elaborating on a specific case, Abro shared that details of 851 candidates were submitted on November 27, 2025. He confirmed that the previous administration had issued merit-based offer orders to these candidates, with full adherence to legal quotas.

The recruitment process included:

  • The minority quota
  • The disabled persons quota
  • The women’s quota

The Deputy Commissioner reiterated that the Services Department has bound all recruiting officers to strict compliance with rules before restoring any offer orders. He issued a clear warning against political pressure, stating that any kind of illegitimate influence will absolutely not be accepted in this merit-based process.
