FPSC postpones interviews
According to the commission’s public notice, the interviews were postponed because of road closures and the law and order situation in Islamabad and other parts of the country.
The interviews were scheduled to take place at FPSC centres in Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar.
The commission said the decision was made to prevent problems for candidates travelling to the interview centres. Road closures and blocked routes could have caused difficulties for candidates.
The FPSC said new dates for the postponed interviews would be announced later. Candidates will be informed about the revised schedule.
