Christian Woman Commissioner Sarah Javed has made history in Sindh. She is now the first Christian Deputy Commissioner in the province. The Sindh government appointed her to this post through an official notification this week.
She will serve as the Deputy Commissioner of Sanghar. She replaces Shehryar Gul in this important role.
Sarah Javed’s Career Journey
Sarah is a senior officer from the 2014 CSS batch. She belongs to the Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS). Over the years, she has held many key roles.
She worked as Assistant Commissioner in Karachi’s Saddar, SITE area, and Hyderabad. In Tharparkar, she served for more than a year as Additional Deputy Commissioner-I.
Recognized for Pandemic Efforts
During the COVID-19 crisis, Sarah played a key role in Karachi’s District South. Her work earned her national praise. She even received a special award for her service.
Her performance during tough times showed her strong leadership. Many citizens still remember her contributions.
Sindh’s Push for Inclusion
This appointment is part of a larger effort by Sindh to promote diversity. Just this week, Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah shared another milestone. He announced the hiring of people from marginalized communities, including Kolhi, Bhil, and Meghwar, into the Sindh Police.
These steps aim to build a more inclusive civil service in the province.
Minority Safety and Representation
The Chief Minister also addressed public concerns about minority safety. He said that out of 310 reported kidnappings in 2024–25, only eight involved Hindu community members. Seven of those victims have been safely recovered.
Such transparency gives hope for a better and safer future for minorities.
A Historic and Hopeful Moment
Sarah Javed’s appointment is not just a job change. It is a symbol of progress. It shows that Pakistan’s civil service is becoming more open and diverse.
Her journey inspires many young women and minorities in the country. It proves that talent and dedication matter, no matter your background.
