In a bid to cut government spending, the federal government has opted to dismantle the Ministry of Capital Administration and Development Division (CAD), which manages Islamabad’s administrative affairs.
This decision will see the removal of all positions from grades 1 to 16 within the ministry. The Cabinet Division will supervise the closure, while the Establishment Division and Finance Division will manage the administrative aspects.

As part of a larger right-sizing initiative, the government plans to outsource various services across ministries, including finance, cleaning, and plumbing. Furthermore, the number of lower-grade positions will be reduced, and all temporary posts will be phased out.
This initiative aligns with the government’s strategy to streamline its operations by privatizing institutions and shutting down redundant departments. These efforts are expected to save billions of rupees, contributing to the government’s cost-saving goals.
