Rana Nisar Ahmed president Civil Secretariat Employees Association said that government should revise its decision of 10 per cent raise announced and it should be at par to the inflation rate of kitchen items and lifestyle. Nisar said it became hard for the lower officials to lead respectful life in their salaries as the prices of routine food and other necessity of life went beyond their access.
Abdul Karim Awan secretary Information of Association said the government should upgrade Clerical Cadre as was upgraded in federal government and other provinces. The government employees in Punjab should be given utility allowance, which had been provided to the employees of other provinces. The government should removed financial discrepancies in pay scales of provincial employees and Punjab employees should be given fair raise in salaries, Awan said.
