FPSC silence

I HAD applied for case numbers F.4-259/2018 (inspector FIA), 150/2018-R (inspector Customs) and 170/2018-R (inspector Customs) in 2018. I appeared for the descriptive examinations in 2020 and submitted my documents for interview in early 2021. It has been four months and we are still waiting for interview calls. Will the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) conduct the interviews anytime soon? The FPSC silence suggests we will have to wait an entire lifetime to hear from it again.

The government should direct the FPSC to expedite the recruitment process so that the qualifiers maybe saved from the torment of an uncertain wait and anxiety.
