However, he will retire on May 16 upon achieving the age of superannuation.<br \/>\nInterestingly, the new posting became public a day after Commander of United States CENTCOM Gen Michael Kurilla visited several locations in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, bordering Afghanistan, to discuss counterterrorism operations in those regions.<br \/>\nThe two developments indicate a renewed focus on countering militancy in the province.<br \/>\nGen Bukhari, the new commander in Peshawar, previously served as vice chief of general staff (alpha) at the General Headquarters.<br \/>\nThe appointment of a new corps commander in Peshawar may also lead to changes in the delicate relationship between the PTI-led government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the military leadership there.<br \/>\nIn another significant change, Chief of Logistics Staff Lt Gen Nauman Zakria was a few days back posted as the commander of Mangla Corps.<br \/>\nThe position had been vacant since Lt Gen Ayman Bilal Safdar opted for early retirement under unclear circumstances.<br \/>\nDuring a recent media conference, Maj Gen Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry, director general of ISPR, addressed a question about General Safdar\u2019s early retirement.<br \/>\nHe explained, \u201cSelf-accountability in the military is a stringent and challenging yet transparent process. It operates automatically and is always active. Whenever there is a breach of regulations, corruption, or a disciplinary issue, the accountability process is triggered. We maintain a robust internal accountability system that functions continuously across various domains.\u201d<br \/>\nMeanwhile, at the CLS secretariat, Gen Zakria was replaced by another newly promoted officer Lt Gen Inayat Hussain. Gen Hussain was a major general serving as vice chief of general staff (bravo).<br \/>\nThe army spokesman Maj Gen Ahmad Sharif was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and retained at ISPR for the time being.<br \/>\nGen Sharif belongs to the Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and very few officers from EME have made it to three-star rank, according to the Dawn newspaper.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16631\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16631\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16631\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-11-at-4.45.27-PM-300x206.png\" alt=\"Pakistan Military Appoints New Corps Commanders For Peshawar, Mangla Corps In PoJK\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16631\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pakistan Military Appoints New Corps Commanders For Peshawar, Mangla Corps In PoJK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD, May 11: In the latest military reshuffle, a new corps commander was appointed on Saturday for the Peshawar and Mangla Corps, signalling a renewed focus of the Pakistan Army on countering militancy in the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
