LAHORE: A presiding officer was removed from his position after it came on surface that he was visually impaired, here on Monday.
Assistant professor Umer Riaz Dogar was deputed as the head of Sheikhupura election office, an act which he himself protested.
The news soon grabbed attention of the electronic media, with one channel severely criticizing the decision. As a result, the authorized Returning Officer withdrew the verdict.
The appointment was made some time ago, astonishing general public and authorities alike, urging prompt action to undo the same.
The time of general elections is closing in fast and the situation calls for dire measures to ensure that these are held fairly and transparently.
