Why was Hazim Bangwar sacked as assistant commissioner?

Pakistan(National Times)- Bureaucrat Hazim Bangwar was removed from the office of assistant commissioner and directed to report to the Sindh Services and General Administration Department. Known for his eccentric personality, Bangwar was currently deputed at the Karachi Commissioner’s office as the assistant commissioner general Karachi. The official attracted fame and popularity among the masses for his service and dedication, besides his eclectic taste and choice of clothes, following his appointment as the North Nazimabad assistant commissioner in 2023.  He once again made headlines today after the reports of his removal from the official post. The reason for Bangwar’s removal was not stated anywhere. However, the insiders revealed that he has been sacked over a complaint for issuing notices to officials overstaying at the official residences. These residences present within the commissioner’s office are allocated to the officials upon their appointment and withdrawn after their term ends. However, two officers, including a woman official, were still staying there despite being notified to vacate after their allotment was cancelled and the residences were allocated to new officials during the tenure of former Karachi commissioner Iqbal Memon. The new allottees, sources said, had approached the Sindh High Court for the acquisition of the official residences. To ensure the implementation of the SHC’s order, Bangwar had reportedly issued notices to the former officials. Bangwar, also a singer and songwriter, finished his first degree in Fashion Design and Marketing from AIU London and then pursued an LLB from a university in London. He has also worked with the likes of Jessie J, Future, Ciara, Juelz, T-Pain, Jason Derulo, and Nicki Minaj.  In 2019, he released his first single titled “Haram” which became a hit in South Korea, Hungry, Egypt, and India, making Hazim the first Pakistani singer to reach the international charts with an English song. However, music and fashion are not the only passions the young bureacrat has. One of his passion projects also includes his foundation, HBF, which aims to provide funds to education, environmental and animal welfare, and emergency response programs in Pakistan. Bangwar has also worked for and supported numerous local and international non-profit organisations, such as WWF, SOS, Oceana, Amnesty International, Dar Ul Sakoon, Project Aware, and PETA.
