BAHAWALNAGAR, June 1: A retired bank officer died fighting for his dues allegedly denied by his boss over a dispute.

Reports said Nisar Ahmad of Khichiwala had been retired from the National Bank as officer Grade III. However, he was the only official who had been denied dues.

He fell ill three months back. Suffering from spinal chord ailment, he needed money for treatment. He repeatedly sent applications to the bank high-ups to get his dues but without result.

He went into coma only five days back. His brother Iftikhar, also an officer at the National Bank, requested the zonal chief to take prompt action. However, all their efforts ended in smoke.

On Friday, Nisar breathed his last.

Sources said Iftikhar’s tussle with some senior officials over union politics resulted in delay in the payment of the deceased’s dues.

TERMINATED: District Education Officer Chaudhry Muhammad Yaqoob on Saturday terminated two lady teachers on the charge of tampering with the official record.

The DEO has ordered the termination under the Punjab Removal from Service Ordinance, 2001.

The teachers are Najma Parveen of Girls Elementary school, 94/F, Chishtian, and Zahida Parveen of Girls Elementary school, 211/F, Chishtian.

The official has yet to take action against employees at treasury where the records were tampered with.
