KARAK- Hundreds of lady health supervisors and lady health workers blocked Indus Highway at Jail Chowk for traffic on Saturday and asked the provincial government to issue notification of their job regularisation immediately.
The health workers led by Kalsoom Sultana, Riffat Jehan and Iftikhar Bano started their protest from District Headquarters Hospital Karak and marched towards Indus Highway holding placards in their hands inscribed with the slogans in favour of their demands. They blocked the Indus Highway for all kinds of traffic for more than an hour. They said the government had issued the notification of their job regularisation but the provincial coordinator of Lady Health Workers Programme was reluctant to issue personal notification to make them permanent. They demanded that the notification should be issued without any delay and they should be paid arrears from the date of the notification.
