The Punjab government has approved more than 149 new posts that will expand Punjab government jobs across three departments, according to the provincial decision reported from Lahore. The openings span the Youth Affairs and Sports Department, the Provincial Intelligence Fusion Centre (PIFC)—also described in some accounts as the Provincial Intelligence Fusion and Threat Assessment Centre—and the intelligence cadre of the Special Branch.
How the new posts are divided
Approval has been granted for 70 new positions in the Project Management Unit (PMU) of the Youth Affairs and Sports Department and for 79 positions at the Provincial Intelligence Fusion Centre. Recruitment will also be carried out in the Special Branch’s intelligence cadre. Because that Special Branch hiring sits alongside the 70 and 79 clearly numbered posts, the overall package is described as more than 149 rather than a single fixed headcount for every unit.
Together, the Youth Affairs PMU and the fusion centre account for the 149 posts that have been broken down in detail. The Special Branch tranche is confirmed for recruitment but without a separate public figure in the same breakdown.
Security and intelligence staffing
Officials frame the drive as a bid to strengthen the province’s intelligence and security capabilities. Extra staff at the fusion centre is expected to improve information sharing, threat identification and intelligence analysis, and to support closer coordination among institutions when assessing and responding to security threats.
In the Special Branch, new recruits are intended to support field monitoring and intelligence gathering. That added manpower is meant to help maintain law and order and prevent crime across the province’s policing and intelligence network.
Sports PMU roles and what applicants should watch
The 70 PMU posts in Youth Affairs and Sports are meant to improve the monitoring, management and implementation of sports projects, as well as departmental administrative affairs. For people tracking Punjab government jobs, that points to project- and office-facing work inside the sports bureaucracy rather than a general sports coaching drive alone.
The approval clears the path for fresh hiring in these units. Application dates, eligibility rules, pay scales and the exact channel for submitting forms have not been set out in the information available so far, so candidates will need to wait for formal advertisements from the departments concerned.
