The Public Administration has issued a gazette notification regarding the change in the name of Ministry of Communications to Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges.
The gazette was issued on Wednesday afternoon.
Roads and Division Secretary M A N Siddique will now be known as the secretary of roads and highway division.
The Secretary said: “The name of the communication ministry creates confusion among the people who deal with us from the international arena. It is often mistaken as the ministry of information and communication technology.”
“So we decided to change it's name,” he said.
