PESHAWAR, Feb 25: The Muttahida Labour Federation of the NWFP has postponed its Feb 28 sit-in call after assurance by Industries Minister Malik Zafar Azam Khan that genuine demands of the organisation would be redressed.

The decision was taken during a meeting chaired by the minister.

Industries Secretary Ihsanullah Khan, Labour Director Khalid Jan, the Labour Federation’s president Mohammad Iqbal and other labour leaders attended the meeting.
