Demo against unfair distribution of CM’s Khidmat cards

From Our Correspondent

JHANG: A large number of kiln workers with their families staged a demonstration against unjust distribution of the CM’s Khidmat cards outside the DCO Office here on Friday.

The protesters holding banners and placards shouted slogans against the Labour and Social Welfare departments for allegedly making the Khidmat cards scheme a political game. They alleged that during preparation of lists for awarding Khidmat cards, local political bigwig’s recommended persons were preferred. They demanded immediate transfer of the Labour and Social Welfare department officials for alleged discrimination with them.

The protesters dispersed when the district administration assured them of forwarding their grievances to the Punjab government.
