KARACHI: An accord struck between the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)
and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has finally led to the revival of
the commissionerate system 1979 in Sindh, which was notified officially
late on Wednesday night.
Last week, Chief Secretary Sindh had
signed a notification dated Nov 5, 2011 to this effect that was held up
owing to the Eidul Azha holidays and consultations that were under way.
As a result, the old status of Karachi has been revived and the city is
once again made up of five districts.
The Sindh government also
notified the commissioners in all five divisional headquarters of the
province and in all five districts of Karachi.
Roshan Ali Sheikh
has been appointed Commissioner Karachi, Ahmed Baksh Narejo,
Commissioner Hyderabad, Ghulam Hussain Memon, Commissioner Mirpur Khas,
Inamullah Dharejo, Commissioner Sukkhur, while Abdul Aleem Lashari has
been given the charge of Commissioner Larkana Division.

districts of Karachi - East, West, South, Central and Malir. Mustafa
Jamal Qazi has been appointed DC (South), Ghanhwar Leghari DC (West),
