About PERA (Punjab Enforcement and Regulatory Authority)
PERA is a provincial body created by the Government of Punjab to enforce laws and regulations related to public spaces, encroachments, price control, cleanliness and other civic matters. It works through a central Directorate General in Lahore and District Enforcement and Regulatory Boards in each district. To run these offices effectively, the authority regularly hires officers for administration, internal affairs, technology, human resources and audit.
Earlier in 2026, PERA also advertised 1,010 Sergeant posts. That recruitment drive closed on 20 July 2026. The current announcement is different: it focuses on officer-level and specialist positions, mostly on contract.
