“Chief Minister Sindh is pleased to approve that the transfers and postings of Superintendents of Police (BS-18)/ Senior Superintendents of Police (BS-19) and equivalent shall be issued by the Services, General Administration and Coordination Department,” read the order issued by provincial Chief Secretary Rizwan Memon.
