(Web Desk): FPSC interviews have been postponed in Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar due to PTI’s long march concerns.

Interviews postponed over security concerns

The Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) has postponed interviews scheduled for September 24 and 25. The decision was taken because of security concerns and possible disruptions on roads.

The FPSC issued a public notice announcing the postponement of the interviews. The interviews were scheduled to take place at centres in Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar.

Road closures create difficulties

According to the notice, road closures and the overall security situation could create problems for candidates travelling to the interview centres. The FPSC said the postponement was intended to protect candidates from possible difficulties during their journey.

The move comes as security arrangements have been tightened in some areas. Candidates who were expected to appear for interviews will now have to wait for the revised schedule.

Several posts affected

The postponed interviews include those for Vice Principal Grade 18 positions in X-FG Schools and the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE). Interviews for Senior Elementary Teacher Grade 16 positions in Islamabad Model Schools have also been postponed.

The FPSC has not announced any change to the selection process itself. Only the interviews scheduled for the affected dates have been delayed.

New interview dates to be announced

The commission said new dates for the postponed interviews will be announced later. Candidates are advised to wait for an official update from the FPSC before making further plans.

The postponement means candidates will not need to report to the interview centres on the previously scheduled dates. Further details about the revised schedule will be shared by the commission.

The FPSC decision is mainly linked to security concerns and possible problems caused by road closures. Delaying the interviews can help reduce travel difficulties for candidates during the affected period.

Candidates should follow official FPSC announcements for the new dates. No new interview schedule has been announced in the notice provided.
