Despite the notice, the protesting employees are determined to continue their protest until the caretaker provincial government withdraws the appointment of the new DG and appoints someone from within the directorate.
The employees argue that the new DG's appointment is illegal and unacceptable, and they have been deprived of executive allowance, which they demand to be given like all other provincial government department employees.
Journalists from various districts, including Khyber Union of Journalists, Peshawar, Nowshera, Charsadda, merged districts, Mardan, and Swat, have also rejected the appointment of the Tehsildar of Revenue Department as DG Information.
