HYDERABAD, Sept 3: A group of employees of the on-farm water management, agriculture department, marched from the Hyderabad Gymkhana to the press club here on Wednesday to protest against non-payment of salaries to 321 officers and employees.

Talking to journalists, leaders of the employees, Moinuddin, Riaz Ahmad Jat, Ali Ahmad Detho, Khadim Hussain Palh and others, said they were not paid salaries of June, July and August despite the orders of the then Sindh chief secretary.

They said on the one hand the government was talking of launching big projects and the other, employees were being denied their salaries.

They appealed to the Sindh government to ensure the payment of their salaries.

TAPEDARS: Jobless trained Tapedars continued their hunger strike outside the press club for the second consecutive day here on Wednesday.

They are demanding that they should be employed against vacant posts of Tapedars.

housing society: Non-employees of the University of Sindh who are residing in the University Employees Cooperative Housing Society should be given membership of the society.

This demand was made by office-bearers of the society’s Residents Action Committee, Anwar Baloch, Mohammad Bux and others, while speaking at a news conference at the press club here on Tuesday.

The office-bearers urged the vice-chancellor not to hold the election of the society before the non-employees were granted membership. They said the election of the society should be held after their names were included in the voters’ list.
