The PFCB chairman recommended the changes to address absenteeism and other professional commitments of existing members.
Actress Resham and actor Sarmad Sultan Khost were replaced, and the government approved the appointment of Khalid Ali Butt and Rauf Khalid as new members of the board.
The board chief formally proposed their names, which were subsequently endorsed by the provincial cabinet following the directives of the Chief Minister of Punjab.
The decision is part of a broader administrative review aimed at strengthening the board’s operations and ensuring smoother functioning in film certification and related activities.
A summary of the proposed appointments and changes was first sent to the cabinet for approval, after which the government formally sanctioned the restructuring.
Officials stated that the member replacements were necessary due to non-attendance and other professional engagements of the outgoing members.
The government emphasised that the restructured board would help improve efficiency and bring fresh perspectives to film certification and oversight in Punjab.
