In a significant disciplinary move, the Levies Force in Balochistan's Chagai district has terminated the services of thirty-one of its personnel. The action was taken following a formal notification issued by the office of the Director General of the Levies Force.
Official Notification Details the Dismissals
The official directive, which has been circulated, clearly states the grounds for the dismissals. A total of 31 members were removed from their posts, comprising a mix of operational and support staff. The breakdown includes three wireless operators and twenty-eight soldiers who were serving in the district.
Reasons Behind the Strict Action
The primary reason cited for the termination of services is willful and prolonged absenteeism from duty. The notification emphasized that the personnel failed to report for their assigned responsibilities without valid authorization or cause.
Furthermore, the Director General of the Levies Force clarified that the dismissed individuals also did not comply with directives issued by the relevant commanding authorities. This combination of unauthorized absence and insubordination left the department with no choice but to initiate strict disciplinary proceedings, culminating in their dismissal.
Implications and Zero-Tolerance Policy
This mass dismissal underscores a strict enforcement of discipline within the paramilitary force responsible for law enforcement and security in the region. The move sends a clear message about the zero-tolerance policy towards negligence and disobedience in the ranks.
Such actions are seen as necessary to maintain operational integrity, discipline, and the chain of command, especially in a sensitive and strategically important district like Chagai. The vacancies created by these dismissals are expected to be filled through new recruitment to ensure the force's operational capacity is not hampered.
