Maqbool Ahmad said there was a need to modify ourselves, adding that people were suffering just
because of our inactivity and lack of will to serve employees and especially retired
employees.
Non-gazetted class was suffering more, he said and added that there was a need to change working
environment.
He said, "We are quickly moving towards IT based initiatives."
About online billing, he said: " The AGPR is well aware of it and in Federal government we would be
doing it in three to four months as new server had arrived in the country". He said for smooth and efficient working human interaction had to be minimized.
