The retired employees of Wapda have urged the government to fulfill its promise of 25 per cent increase in their medical allowance made in the budget speech four months ago.

Representatives of Wapda employees from grade 1-5 told this correspondent that the government had announced 25 per cent increase in the medical allowance of all retired employees, but no notification had so far been issued in this regard.

They said that whenever they submitted their medical claim to the office of the executive officer they were told that there were no proper orders in this regard from the federal government.

They appealed to the prime minister and Wapda chairman Shakeel Durrani to order payment of medical allowance to the retired employees.
