The Capital Administration and Development Division (CADD) has asked the Finance Division for Rs140 million to pay salaries to the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) employees long working on daily wage basis.
According to Minister of State for CADD Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, the division has sought Rs140 million supplementary grant for payment of salary to FDE daily wagers, both teaching and non-teaching employees.
