The Punjab Cabinet on Wednesday decided to recruit 50,000 officers this fiscal as part of the restructuring of 10 departments.
The new recruitment will be made possible by surrendering or abolishing the existing posts. The focus is on creating relevant posts and doing away with non-essential ones, many of which have been lying vacant for years.
The 10 departments to be restructured are Labour, Technical Education and Industrial Training, Public Works Department (B&R), Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Dairy Development, Tourism and Cultural Affairs, Local Government, Printing and Stationery, Sports and Youth Service Welfare, Defence Services Welfare, and Cooperation.
