Peshawar: Lady Health Workers and Lady Health Supervisors came out to protest in Jinnah Park, chanting slogans for the Government to fulfill their demands.
The protesters reported that the Government has hired 3900 workers in the province on a contract basis. They demand that the status of contract-based workers should be made permanent.
The dissidents further said that 3900 workers working in the province have been posted in Scale 5 since 2012. Their grades have not been raised in years. They demand the Government upgrade the employees.
Moreover, Lady Health Workers have been working extra hours and shifts for immunization and awareness campaigns across the province. But, the authorities have been ignoring their rights and not giving them the privileges that they deserve, reported the protesters.
