PM Shehbaz Sharif has accepted the request of former ISI director general and Commander of Bahawalpur Corps Lt-General Faiz Hameed for early retirement.
There were earlier reports that Faiz Hameed had decided to retire prematurely from the service.
The development came after the appointment of General Syed Asim Munir as Chief of the Army Staff and General Sahir Shamshad Mirza as Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee.
Lt-General Azhar Abbas, whose name was also included in the list of six senior Army officers forwarded to PM House for top appointments, had also reportedly decided to take premature retirement from service.
