LAHORE: A citizen has approached the Lahore High Court (LHC) to fix a minimum salary at $1,000 a month across Pakistan.

Chief Justice will hear the petition as an objection case today. The applicant said that the government across Pakistan had a fixed minimum salary of rupees 37000. He said a raise in the minimum wage that would increase the purchasing power of the citizens.

The petitioner therefore asked the court to order a minimum salary of $1,000 a month across country. He also sought court directions for amendments in labor laws.
