Protest: SNGPL employees seek regularisation of service
If the government can regularise teachers and Pakistan International Airlines and Pakistan Railways employees, then why not those working for Sui Northern Gas Pipeline?
This was the driving force behind a protest by about two dozen contractual employees of the gas company in Islamabad on Tuesday. Carrying banners and placards inscribed with slogans like “we want permanence in our jobs”, contractual and daily wages employees assembled in front of the Parliament. The protesters included sub-engineers, meter readers and data-controllers.
They said they had been working for the gas company for the past many years but were still to be regularised, even as contractual employees in other government departments were given permanent employments.
They said that officials in the company had assured them many times that they will be given permanent employments whenever posts became available. Afzal, a protester, said, “The company advertised new jobs in the newspapers, but they never regularised us.”
The protesters said they will go on a hunger strike in front of the Parliament if they were not regularised.

Dear All,,,
I would like to add that the management of SNGPL always uses a tool that if any of the contractual or daily wage employee make protest against the company,,, then they close the gate for that particular employee. This is a negative tool that is being used by the SNGPL administration. Many employees are working in the company for 30 to 40 years as temporary employees. The Govt should immediately take action against the Sngpl management.
Dear Reader in my point of View
Some Hidden force not like People Regular in Sui gas ,In Many Region People Work Since 30 Year on Daily baisis And Govt. and managemnt of SNGPL not Take any Action to regular these employees. Govt and high managment Should be Regular These Employee .
