Govt dissolves CAD ministry, dozens of jobs to be cut

In a move aimed at reducing government expenditure, the federal government has decided to abolish the Ministry of Capital Administration and Development Division (CAD), which is responsible for overseeing the affairs of Islamabad.

The decision includes the elimination of all posts from grades 1 to 16 across the ministry.

The Cabinet Division will oversee the dissolution of CAD, while the Establishment Division and Finance Division will handle the administrative aspects of the closure.

As part of the right-sizing initiative, the government has also announced plans to outsource several roles, including finance, cleaning, and plumbing services, in all ministries.
