SWAT:

The class-IV employees’ association of Swat on Friday announced to stage a sit-in in front of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s residence in Bani Gala from November 27 for being ignored by the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government.

The body’s president, Sayed Khitab, told the media that the PTI-led provincial government was neither upgrading their pay scale nor increasing salaries while the K-P Chief Minister Pervez Khattak had announced up-gradation of scales of clerks.

He said the provincial government had not paid heed to their demands, adding that they were left with no other option.
