Terming the SRO-520 by government a unfortunate decision played upon the daily wagers and unconfirmed employees, provincial president, Ab Rashid told INS that the order was unfortunate for the employees in the name of regularization.

“Besides that, risk allowance should be given to the employees of wildlife and casual labourers should be regularised”, he said

“The SRO-520 is not a good decision which has played upon the daily wagers and unconfirmed employees. We demand the revocation of it, besides fulfilment of all other demands,”Union president Tariq Sofi said.
