Floods and PPSC

Published September 21, 2014

THE Punjab Public Service Commission has announced the schedule of PMS examinations, which are to start on Oct 13.

Many living in flood-affected areas who have applied for these examinations are unnerved as they cannot even imagine preparing for the examinations as they have lost their homes and crops and have taken refuge in camps. Keeping these circumstances in view, the PPSC should postpone PMS examinations and announce a new date.
