Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Tuesday accepted the old demand of lower grade employees of the Irrigation Department appointed against non-promotional posts and has granted them a time scale and service structure. On his instructions the irrigation department moved a summary of 28,971 employees who were appointed from grade B-1 to grade B-13 against non-promotional posts and had no service structure for promotion in upper grades.

The chief minister not only granted them time a scale but also approved their service structure for promotions. Under the scheme the employees of grade B-1 who have completed five years of service will move to grade B-2, of 10-year service to grade -3, 15 years of service to grade B-4 and 20 years of service to grade 5. In this way, the employee of grade B-2 to grade B-14 will be moving in upper grades in accordance with their pay scales and lengths of service.
