The advancements were made at the High-Powered Selection Board’s 27th meeting, which was presided over by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Shahera Shahid, a member of the Information Group, has been promoted to grade 22.
She was presently carrying out her responsibilities as the information and broadcasting secretary.
The promotion of 10 Pakistan Administrative Group officials from grade 21 to grade 22 received approval from the selection committee as well.
They include Yusuf Khan, Mohsin Mushtaq Chandna, Sajid Siddique, Arif Anwar Baloch, Awais Manzur Samra, Ali Sher Mahsud, Syed Ali Murtaza, and Waseem Mukhtar Chaudhary. Ahmad Hanif Orakzai is also among them.
Khalid Javed Khan and Hasan Akhtar Khan, two postal group officials, were also elevated to grade-22.
On Tuesday, there will be a meeting to discuss the advancement of officers from other groups.
The recommendations of the Central Selection Board (CSB) for the promotion of officers from all groups as well as ex-cadere officers in grades 20 and 21 were authorised by the prime minister Shehbaz Sharif in December of last year.
After carefully going over the CBS meeting minutes, he nodded in agreement to the promotions.

The recommendation to defer some officers’ promotions was altered by the prime minister.
The Establishment Division and pertinent secretaries would announce promotions and new appointments of officers after receiving the prime minister’s permission.
The CSB met for six days from August 10 to August 15 of last year. Officers in grades 20 and 21 from all services and groupings, including ex-cadere, should be promoted, according to the CSB.
The proposals were later given to the prime minister for final approval by the Establishment Division. For more than 2.5 months, the issue lingered in the Prime Minister’s Office.
The prime minister approved the CSB minutes after carefully reading them, and they were then transmitted to the Establishment Division.
During this time, a few officers who were passed over for promotion addressed the prime minister about their concerns.
The prime minister ordered the members of the CSB to convert the decision to supersede some officers into a postponement because he believed it to be unfair.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
