KARACHI, Sept 17: A seminar on Family Reconciliation and Labour Welfare was arranged jointly by the National Institute of Labour Administration Training (NILAT) and the Family Security Council (FSC) at NILAT, a press release said on Tuesday.

Speaking at the concluding session of the seminar, Syed Hashim Ali Shah Bukhari, Director General NILAT said that family life could be well maintained with respect for each other, love and affection, and any differences between the husband, wife or children could be solved through reconciliation and mutual consultation.

He said that if disputes between the husband and wife are not settled through consultations by family elders, then the situation could create tension at home and badly affect children.

Bukhari said that a peaceful environment, self-respect and good relations between family members created a good environment at home, and a satisfied home life is a blessing.
