In a major step to improve how government organizations work, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has reduced over 1,900 jobs at PTV. This decision is part of a wider plan by the federal government to make operations more efficient and manage resources better.
The change comes after the federal cabinet gave instructions to cut down the number of unfilled or extra jobs by 60%. As a result, 1,232 positions have been adjusted, while 729 more will be reduced slowly in different phases.
The job cuts are not limited to one area. They include different roles, from senior management to support staff. The goal is to improve how PTV functions and to ensure that public money is used more wisely.
This move is seen as part of the government’s efforts to reduce unnecessary spending and make state-owned organizations more productive. By cutting down on extra or outdated positions, the government hopes to create a more focused and effective working environment at PTV.
Officials say that the decision was made after careful review and planning. They also believe this restructuring will not affect the quality of programs and services offered by PTV. Instead, it is expected to help PTV perform better and become a more modern and responsible public organization.
While this step may be difficult for some employees, it is seen as necessary for the long-term improvement of the national broadcaster. It also sets an example for other public departments to review their staff structure and improve the way they operate.
The government is expected to continue making such changes in other departments to improve public service and reduce the burden on the national budget.
