This move will be beneficial to the workers axed in KSA as well as those who weren’t in the country when the lockdown was announced leaving them stranded and unable to return to their place of employment as international flights were suspended.
As per the handout, the Saudi officials have stated they will stop firms from axing their Pakistani employees for three months and ask them to continue paying their salaries during this period.
Those who have already been laid off will get official cooperation and the relevant officials will ensure their dues are cleared.
This is for all nationalities not just for Pakistanis.
Now give its credit to Imran.
