CM Maryam removes Jhelum DC after request to shift exam centre ahead of visit

Maryam Nawaz ordered the removal after a district official sought to move exam papers, citing traffic concerns and inconvenience to students and parents.

  • On Sunday, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif removed Jhelum Deputy Commissioner Mir Reza Ozgen from his post after intermediate examinations were postponed ahead of her planned visit to the district.
  • In a letter dated November 6, Ozgen requested the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education to shift Computer Science papers scheduled for November 10, citing 'anticipated traffic congestion' from the Chief Minister's VVIP visit.
  • Expressing displeasure, the Chief Minister said she had issued 'explicit instructions that no inconvenience or disruption whatsoever should be caused to the public,' calling the DC's request a 'clear disregard for my directions.'
  • A notification issued by the Services and General Administration Department directed Ozgen to report to the department for further orders with immediate effect.
  • This action reflects the administration's strict protocol regarding official visits, as the Chief Minister previously emphasized that her presence must not disrupt public activities or student examinations.
