Copies of the notification have been circulated to the Prime Minister’s Office, the President’s Secretariat, provincial chief secretaries, provincial police chiefs and the accountants general of all four provinces. The order has also been forwarded to the Printing Corporation of Pakistan Press, Karachi, for publication in the Gazette of Pakistan.
Mr Mohiyuddin came into the public spotlight in recent years through videos of his khuli kachehris that circulated widely on social media. He was often seen listening to citizens’ complaints and taking immediate notice of allegations of negligence or misconduct by officials. His public dealings and direct style earned him a sizeable following online.
No official reason has been given for his decision to seek premature retirement.
Meanwhile, reports circulating on social media claiming that he plans to move to Canada after retirement could not be independently verified. Neither Mr Mohiyuddin nor the government has made any public statement regarding his future plans.
