TEHRAN – Interior Ministry spokesman Salman Samani has said that those provincial governors who live outside their precinct will be dismissed, Mehr reported on Tuesday.

Samani said according to an order of Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, the governors must reside where they work, otherwise they will be fired.

The Interior Ministry’s supervisory bodies are tasked to oversee the minister’s order, he added. He also said the governors should be committed to enshrining the rights of the people, finishing incomplete projects, and creating jobs.
