This is to correct any possible lapses, and also as a more sustainable panacea for development.
At the same time, it has also urged the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and the Minerals Commission and its Inspectorate Division to conduct a thorough investigation into the recent underground accident that saw three mineworkers working in the same area trapped.
Two of them managed to escape, with one still missing since Tuesday, May 18, 2021.

‘Farmers in Sindh receive Rs6,000 per month’

May 2, 2021
KARACHI: Marking International Labour Day on Saturday, the Hari Welfare Association (HWA) lamented that in the rural areas of Sindh, millions of workers in agriculture and brick kilns are without social security and decent work, including the minimum wage.
HWA head Akram Khaskheli claimed that these workers hardly received Rs6,000 per month in salary against the Rs17,500 minimum wage promised by the Sindh government for unskilled workers in 2019. The HWA stated that because of unemployment and lack of education and skills, millions of young people were forced to work around 14 hours a day at grocery shops, restaurants, and workshops just for Rs5,000 per month in rural parts of Sindh, and among them were women and girls who picked cotton and chillies but received meagre wages.
