Karachi: Despite the directives issued by Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah some seven months ago, 114 ad hoc employees of the Health department yet to be confirmed even after serving for two decades.
The Provincial Health Secretary put impediments in the way of their confirmation and summary regarding the matter could not be sent to the chief minister. Many ad hoc employees have passed away and the remaining are in state of uncertainty.
These employees were recruited in 1990 on contract and were performing their duties in the health department under the Local Government at Gadap Town and Bin Qasim Town, Karachi.
The chief minister instructed the minister for Local Government in March 2011, to regularise their services but the orders were not implemented by the red tapism and delaying tactics of bureaucracy as the Secretary, Local Government, Ali Ahmed Lund did not move the summary to the chief minister.
These employees are deprived of their due right. They said as they are working on contract basis, so their pay and allowances are not being increased as compared to permanent government employees.
