ISLAMABAD: Director General of Emigration and Overseas Employment has taken serious notice of loss of jobs of a considerable number of Pakistani nurses in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia due to functional irregularities surfaced by the foreign employers in the kingdom.

In light of a preliminary fact finding report, the overseas employment promoter license of M/s Sahou Manpower OEPL No 3295/RWP has been suspended with immediate effect until completion of investigation by the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment, said a press release issued on Thursday.
