Three army officers, including former director general (DG) of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Lt Gen Asim Bajwa, are to be reshuffled, according to a handout released by the army's media wing on Thursday.
Lt Gen Asim Bajwa has been posted as corps commander southern command (Quetta), replacing Lt Gen Aamer Riaz, ISPR said.
Lt Gen Riaz has been appointed Corps Commander Lahore, while Lt Gen Sadiq Ali, who currently holds the position, has been posted as inspector general of the Arms Branch at General Headquarters, Rawalpindi, ISPR said.
Lt Gen Ali will replace Lt Gen Asim Bajwa, who was posted as the inspector general of the Arms Branch by Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa.
Lt Gen Asim Bajwa remained the public face of the military for nearly four-and-a-half years, and was the first three-star general to hold the position.
He was succeeded as DG ISPR by Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor, the current ISPR chief, in Dec 2016.

Excellent, welcome to Punjab, please clean this city.
Good GEN with extensive experience. He has shown candor, versatility and good decisions. Good luck.
Lt Gen sadiq Ali is a good man, I shake hand with Sadiq Ali at MDC-28 (Military Dental Hospital) in Lahore on July.6.2017, He was on visit to inaugurate new building constructed in CMH hospital Lahore and extension of MDC-28 new building.
I love forner DG ISPR
I still miss General Asim Bajwa as DG ISPR
Well done!!
Junior Bajwa is making his way to add command experience as a 3 star general under his belt. May be the junior Bajwa will become the most senior general in next few years....
@Kamran Shame making such assumptions is utter disregard of his judgement. Kamran should apologize for. his his remarks.
Welcome to your new positions and challenges. Keep it up and hang on tough. May God Almighty bless you and your loved ones and grant you more resilience, fortitude and courage to serve the motherland to the best of your abilities, skills and traits. Aameen, Tsum Aameen.

Is normal posting of Military personal or Corps commander meeting be considered newsworthy for general( pun not intended) public in other countries??
Great signal of things to come...
When corruption is rampart among politician's they feel others are doing same ?
we have respect all the decision by Army Chief and assured that all are in the interest of nation and country.
Good move
@Kamran a very silly comment.
good riddance
Hats up our defenders!
These are routine and normal postings/transfers.
@Khan It is not the army's job to clean the city.
PML N is anti federation political party
Routine shuffling of army men generating so much interest
Looks like the noonies won’t like mr Raiz in Punjab !
Lt.General Riaz is a good move to be transfered to Lahore as Co-Commander, as Lahore & Punjab needs a thorough clean up.
@Khan You need Generals of your country to clean your city's no doubt you guys are rules by them.
