HYDERABAD: The All Pakistan Wapda Hydro Electric Workers Union (CBA) has said that federal government should shelve its longstanding plans for the privatisation of national assets, especially Wapda.

The CBA president, Abdul Latif Nizamani, said at a meeting of the union’s office bearers and workers at labour hall on Tuesday that the union would hold protests across Pakistan on March 3 against the government’s privatisation plan.

He said the government had first promised to shelve the privatisation plan but then it started backpedalling on it under IMF’s dictates.
