KP govt announces major changes in recruitment rules

PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has amended rules pertaining to recruitment, promotions, and transfers in the public sector departments, abolishing the son quota for jobs, ARY News reported.

According to a notification issued here, the amendments include the abolition of Rule 10, sub-clause 4, and partial abolition of clause 2, which pertained to the recruitment of government servants’ children.

As a result of these amendments, the children of government servants who die or become disabled during service will no longer be entitled to employment. Previously, the children of such servants were given employment under the son quota.
