HYDERABAD, Nov 9: Director General of the Hyderabad Development Authority Tahir Ahmed has directed the managing director of the Water and Sanitation Agency to ensure payment of salaries, difference of enhanced salary, overtime and supply of uniform to the Wasa employees before Eidul Fitr.

He was talking to a delegation of the HAD Employees' Union led by its general secretary Mohammad Yousuf, which called on him here on Monday. Wasa managing director Shoukat Hayat Bhutto was present on the occasion

The CBA union leaders demanded that the WASA employees be paid their salaries for October with difference of 15 per cent enhanced salaries and overtime before Eid and also be issued uniforms.

They said that the delay in the payment of employees' dues had created restlessness among them.

The Wasa chief assured them that the dues would be paid before Eid and said that he had approached the Sindh government for the payment of water dues against the government departments and the government had released funds in this regard.

Meanwhile, Mr Yousuf has criticised the HDA Employees' Action Committee for inciting the workers against the CBA union.

In a statement issued here on Tuesday, he said that the action committee leaders had their own axe to grind.

He assured the workers that their dues would be cleared before Eid and advised them to keep away from the unscrupulous elements who were trying to divide them.

RESULTS: The University of Sindh has announced results of test for admission to bachelors degree programme held on Sunday.

The results have been displayed at the websites, www.sindhology.com.pk and www.usindh.edu.pk, and displayed at notice boards of the Sindh University Model School, Hyderabad, and directorate of admissions, Jamshoro.
