HYDERABAD, March 9: Adviser to Sindh Chief Minister Ms Nuzhat Pathan on Friday held bureaucracy responsible for suppressing the voice of working class and criticised bureaucrats for their ignorance of people’s problems.

Speaking at a seminar organised by the All-Sindh Road Transport Workers Union at the press club Ms Pathan said that chief minister was trying to solve people’s problems but hurdles were being created for him. Special allocations would be made in the next budget for payment of outstanding dues to the former employees of the defunct Sindh Road Transport Corporation.

Ms Pathan said that she was fully aware of their problems because her own father was a former SRTC employee. Union leaders Ghulam Mohammad Depar, Saeed Akbar Pathan, Ghulam Mustafa and Pir Bux Vighio underlined the problems of transport owner and workers.
