The Sindh government on Friday announced it has restricted the scope of requirements for early retirement and approved pension reforms.
A meeting of the Sindh cabinet took place under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah.
Shah was informed that a total of 493,182 people are employed by the provincial government, who draw a monthly salary of Rs23.9 billion.
The chief minister was also told that the government s total pension bill amounts to Rs13.3 billion every month.
He added that the inter-city public transport will also be closed from April 29.
Wahab further said that the situation is alarming, saying the government may have no other option but to take stricter decisions if people dont act responsibly.
I wish people were actually following SOPs and had been wearing MASKS. Situation is very alarming & Govt may have no other option but to take stricter decisions if people dont act responsibly Murtaza Wahab Siddiqui (@murtazawahab1) April 26, 2021
The development comes a day after Sindh asked the federal government to deploy army personnel in the province to ensure adherence to Covid-19 precautionary SOPs.
