Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif ordered the federal works department closed, citing poor performance and corruption, leaving its 7,000 staff facing transfer or separation.
About the figure: Jobs at risk rather than confirmed layoffs; staff were to go to a surplus pool and the Peshawar High Court later stayed layoffs.
