KARACHI: The Sindh cabinet has approved the abolition of the “dead quota” in light of the Supreme Court’s orders, here on Wednesday.

According to reports, this decision was taken in a Sindh cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah. The PPP-led Sindh government announced that no more recruitments will be made under the deceased quota in the province.

Earlier, employees who died while serving were replaced under this quota. The cabinet also approved the establishment of a company to provide clean water and sanitation facilities to rural populations.

Furthermore, the Sindh cabinet approved the establishment of the Sindh People’s Rural Civic Services and also approved changes in the procedure for the appointment of vice chancellors.

The cabinet approved changes in the criteria for the appointment of vice chancellors in universities, as well as the installation of automatic electronic vending machines.

A committee was formed to address problems and shortcomings in education boards. The cabinet also approved amendments in the rules for the establishment of the Sindh IT Company.

Additionally, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for conducting General Screening Test with Sukkur IBA was extended, ensuring transparency and merit-based appointments.

In July 2024, the Punjab government made significant changes to the Punjab Civil Servants Act 1974 by repealing Rule 17-A.
