KARACHI: Many of the senior officers of Central Board of Revenue are not happy with the policies being introduced by the organization and have decided to retire early, sources told The News.
Many of them have already resigned and those who are young want to leave and join some other government departments, sources said.
A very senior officer of Customs said many officers currently serving the CBR want to join provincial government departments, as they are not happy with the working conditions in the single largest revenue collecting authority of the country.

Let's get this out of the way quickly since it's all-Kobe all the time these days. He was hot at the start scoring 17 in the first 9 minutes, but the Warriors made some adjustments to get the ball out of his hands. The Lakers blew a big lead, but ran off a 14-0 run in the fourth keyed by you know who, and they held on for the win. The Warriors had some chances, getting threes that were too little too late, and it just wasn't meant to be. Kobe finished with "only" 43 and 9 rebounds.

We NEED the Warriors to grab that 8th seed so Nellie can scare the Mavs in the first round.

Several months ago, the Queen's University political science student and a colleague brought to the school principal documents showing that the Kingston, Ont. post-secondary institution had invested in two Chinese oil and gas companies.
PetroChina and China Petroleum were doing business with the Sudanese government and the student youth group, Students Taking Action Now: Darfur, of which Mr. Goldstein was national chairman of divestment, had already pressured several American universities to divest their portfolios of the funds.
