QUETTA:
The members of All Balochistan Employees and Workers Grand Alliance on Tuesday announced to boycott the matric examinations in the province which are starting from April 10.
This development was confirmed by Workers Grand Alliance Vice President Haji Habib-ur-Rehman Mardanzai who himself is a teacher. The sit-in continued in the provincial capital on the ninth consecutive day. It began on March 29 last month with the protestors demanding a 25 per cent increase in salaries of Balochistan government employees all across the board. No rally will be held in Quetta this evening at the request of Education Minister Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind, Mardanzai said.
