TOBA TEK SINGH - Brick kiln workers staged a demonstration outside Kamalia Press Club on Wednesday against the kiln owners’ refusal to pay their wages according to the rates fixed by the Punjab government. The protesters were joined by former UC Nazim Ayub Anjum, Society for human development representatives Clement Kamay and Hashim Ali.
The protesters said that the government had fixed a rate of Rs517 per 1,000 bricks but the kiln owners continued to pay them according to their own rates. They demanded the Toba DCO to direct the social security department to issue social security cards to the kiln workers.
