PESHAWAR: A recent investigation has brought to light several irregularities within the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Employees Social Security Institution. Documents reveal multiple violations of regulations, including the simultaneous posting of assistant directors in the same district.
In a breach of established rules, documents indicate the appointment of two assistant directors, Muhammad Asrar and Mudassar Ahmad, in Hayatabad Industrial Estate, where only one sanctioned position exists. Similarly, Haripur has witnessed the appointment of two assistant directors against protocol at K Hattar Industrial Estate.

Furthermore, concerns were raised over the appointment of a junior officer to the role of director admin, bypassing a more senior candidate in the institution’s hierarchy.
Khursheed Alam, Vice Commissioner of the Employees Social Security Institution, defended these actions, citing operational needs as justification for appointing additional assistant directors. He also clarified that assigning the role of Deputy Director Admin falls within the authority of the institution’s Commissioner.
