ISLAMABAD – Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Power Tabish Gauhar has resigned from his post, local media reported Tuesday.
Gauhar resigned from the post, around a year after his appointment. He also shared the development on Twitter. “After a year of public service, I’ve decided to call it a day to return to my family. It’s been the privilege of a lifetime to serve the country, to the best of my abilities, in an honorary capacity. I shall remain indebted to the PM for giving me this opportunity”.
Whilst the challenges in the energy sector are manifold, I have no doubt that under the able leadership of Hammad Azhar, the MOE team will continue to stay the course on structural reforms. May Allah continue to bless Pakistan – Ameen. (2/2)
