The Punjab interim administration made an announcement on Tuesday, revealing a substantial 35 percent augmentation in the remuneration of government personnel within grades 1 to 16.
As per the official statement, the administration has also given the green light to a 30 percent upsurge in the wages of employees classified under grades 17 to 22.
Furthermore, the regional government has granted an increase of 17.5 percent in pension disbursements.
The enhancement in salaries will, however, be implemented based on the existing base salary of the civil servants, as specified in the notification.
It is pertinent to highlight that government employees in Punjab had recently engaged in protests to secure a hike in their salaries. The protests concluded with assurances from the federal government.
In order to exert pressure on the Punjab government to concede to their demands, a coalition known as the All Government Employees Alliance had been established.
Why don’t govt ask private sector employees to go to hell because there is either negligible to zero increase in our salary and we are the most effected class of society. Even paying more than 200% taxes compared to business class we got nothing but jokes.
Snatch from ordinary Pakistanis and redistribute the wealth among Lazy Government officials. 30% increase in one year is huge. They are rewarded for what type of performance?.
Enjoy at the expense of ordinary citizens of Pakistan. Double digit increase for what?. What is their performance to even get that salary. It is more like a bribery before the elections.
Can the temporary caretaker setups have the ability to do that ?
