The federal cabinet will discuss proposals (under discussion) on re-organising the federal government and allocation of job quota for the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) in a meeting scheduled to be held on Tuesday (today), and on progress being made in privatisation of state-owned entities including two RLNG power plants.
