Published November 19, 2003

MANSEHRA, Nov 18: The president of the Paramedical Association Mansehra, Mohammad Khalid Khan, has demanded that the NWFP government should issue notification for the service structure of the paramedics for putting an end to the excesses being committed against them.

He said this while speaking at a press conference here on Tuesday. The vice-president Mohammad Jamil and general secretary Shah Hussain of the association were also present on the occasion.

Mr Khan said that the paramedics perform their duties round the clock in the far flung areas but they were denied special allowance. He demanded promotion, moveover and selection grade for the paramedics and special allowance for the technical staff.—Correspondent
