The Government of Balochistan has reappointed Mehta Kailash Nath Kohli as the Chairman of the Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC), granting him one additional term of up to three years, according to an official notification issued on Wednesday.
The decision has been taken under the Balochistan Public Service Commission Act, 1989, read with Balochistan Ordinance No. I of 2026, after receiving approval from the competent authority. The notification confirms that the appointment has come into effect immediately.
