KARACHI: The employees of the National Museum of Pakistan have decided to file a petition in the Supreme Court against the non-payment of their salaries and the National Heritage and Culture Department’s decision to hand over the museum to a private body.
According to National Museum Workers Union President Ali Raza, the employees have not been paid salaries for the past two months. Federal Minister for Education, Professional Training and National Heritage and Culture Shafqat Mehmood, during his visit to the museum in October 2020, had assured the employees that their salaries would be paid from the regular budget.
