Senate bodytakes up PakPWD salaries

The Senate Standing Committee on Housing and Works was briefed on Monday regarding the issue of non-payment of salaries to several employees of the former Pakistan Public Works Department (Pak PWD).

The panel convened a meeting under the chairmanship of Senator Nasir Mehmood on Monday.

The officials noted that the adjustment of former Pak PWD employees, as per their demand, was not possible since the posts were reserved for regular employees.

The committee chairman emphasized that, where possible, these employees should be placed in available positions and directed the ministry to submit a detailed report to the committee.
