The sugar mills’ management have been directed to start crushing the sugarcane in their mills according to the date specified.

SSGC: The office-bearers of the Supreme Council of the Ad hoc Employees, Sui Southern Gas Company Ltd, have welcomed the statement of the managing director of the company that it will be his priority to reinstate 4,200 sacked employees and regularize their services.

In a joint statement issued here on Wednesday, Imam Bukhsh Kambarani, Zulfiqar Abro, Haji Ghulam Rasool Memon, Liaquat Solangi and others expressed hope that the new managing director would fulfil his promises.
