All Pakistan Local Government Workers' Federation (APLGWF) urged the Sindh Government on Sunday to regularise 13000 local bodies' employees. The workers federation proposed that Sindh government that is the majority party in Sindh Assembly should adopt a resolution in the provincial legislature to do so.
APLGWF Sindh chapter's president Syed Zulfiqar Ali Shah said, as many as 13000 people were inducted in the local bodies departments such as KMC, Towns and Unions' committees across the province from 2010 to 2013 after the approval of the then minister for local government.
"But, now, the government is planning to retrench them, saying that they were illegally appointed," Zulfiqar said talking to the Business Recorder, adding that those 13000 employees had completed probationary period two years back. He said that it would be an injustice if the government sacked them from services.
He cited that the Chief Justice of the Sindh High Court (SHC) had ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to conduct an inquiry and submit a report on the employees of local bodies department.
Of the total employees, 15 are from district Tando Allahyar, 610 are from district Dadu, 159 from Thatta, 224 from Badin, 280 from Benazirabad, 304 District Naushehro Feroze, 666 from Jamshoro, 1824 Ghotki, 322 from Tando Mohammad Khan, 346 from Matiari, 60 from Umerkot, 432 Sanghar, 204 from Mirpurkhas, 588 from Sukkur, 448 from Shikarpur, 277 from Jacobabad, 1278 from Kambar-Shahdadkot, 1368 from Larkana, 557 each from Hyderabad and district Kashmore, 94 from Kandhkot and 1695 from Karachi. Files of these employees have been sent to the NAB, he said.
"Sindh chief minister Syed Murad Ali Shah must regularise the employees through passage of resolution from the provincial assembly," he urged.
