QUETTA, Oct 7: Pakistan Diploma Engineer’s Federation, Balochistan Zone, (PDEFBZ) representatives on Monday demanded of the federal government to regularize services of all resource persons in the Pakistan Television, Quetta Centre.

Speaking at a press conference here on Monday, Saeed Khan Kakar and Ibrahim Jan Zehri, President and General Secretary of the PDEFBZ, respectively, claimed that President Musharraf and Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali had held out an assurance to resolve the issue but PTV General Manager in Islamabad had done nothing in this regard.

They stated that 28 diploma engineers were appointed resource persons during the last 10 years and PDEFBZ had made concerted efforts in presenting their case before the President, Prime Minister and Federal Information Minister but all in vain.

They asserted that there were still many posts vacant in the institution and the PTV had the resources to regularize the resource persons but due to unknown reasons the management was creating problems to resolve the matter of the PTV Quetta Centre.
