KARACHI:
Two workers of the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) attempted self-immolation outside the office located in Gizri on Friday.
One of the workers is reported to be in serious condition and has been shifted to the hospital.
KESC workers have been protesting for over eight months against the management. The resumption of duties of 1,800 workers who had refused to accept the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS), reinstatement of 577 workers whose services had been terminated and the payment of salary of over four months for all these employees are the demands put forward by the protesting workers.
The workers say that their demands had been accepted during a meeting at the Governor House, but no progress has been made so far.
