Local government department of Sindh has said it reinstated all the officers it had suspended as they illegitimately kept the hold of government vehicles that were to be returned to the government.
Fearing legal action, at least five government officials ranging from grade 11- to 17 have returned the vehicles they had previously kept in custody illegally.
Following their disregard of earlier instructions by the government, the department suspended them and warned of strict legal measures to which five officers have given up the vehicles to the concerned department.
According to the latest development as announced by local bodies department notification, the five officials have been reinstated on their services effective immediately.
It may be noted that the cars were assigned to elected local body representatives but as soon as their tenure concluded, the cars were to be returned to the transport pool, but on the contrary, the government officials instead kept the hold of those cars and used them illegally.
The notification also said that in response to their transgression, censure has been served to them which is recorded in their dossiers.
