KARACHI: The employees of Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) and District Municipal Corporations (DMCs) staged a protest against the non-payment of pensions in Karachi today (Thursday).
According to details, the protesters also blocked the M.A Jinnah Road, causing huge trouble for the citizens. The protesters chanted slogans against the administrations saying they would continue their protests until their all demands are not accepted.
In this regard, Administrator Karachi Iftikhar Ali Shallwani said that it was amongst the priorities of KMC to release salaries, pensions, and retirement dues of employees.
Shallwani said that a comprehensive report regarding the dues would be sent to Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah so that the employees who were waiting for their salaries and dues, be paid the same.
The Administrator Karachi further said that the pension should be released soon after the KMC gets the required funds. “It is their right that should be given without any delay,” he added. He also assured the unions’ representatives that their justified demands would surely be considered.
