DASKA: Following the orders of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), the government has appointed lieutenant (retired) Tariq Farooq as new Deputy Commissioner Daska in place of Zeeshan Javed, ARY News reported on Tuesday.

Bilal Bin Abdul Ghaffar has been appointed as new assistant commissioner Daska.

The ECP had ordered the removal of Deputy Commissioner, District Police Officer (DPO) and AC Daska over “rigging” during by-poll in the NA-75 constituency.

The commission had also summoned Punjab Chief Secretary and Inspector General of Police (IGP) on March 4 for an explanation.
