KARACHI: Workers associated with Pakistan Railways took out a procession at the Karachi city railway station on Wednesday against the proposed downsizing and privatisation of the service.
Leaders of the Rail Mazdoor Ittehad (Karachi division), including Raja Abdul Manaf, Mir Azam Khan Boneiri, Mohammad Khan, Mohammad Mukarram Hakim, Fazalur Rehman (Munna Bhai), Nooruddin and Malik Shabbir Ahmed, spoke to the participants in the procession organised by the Pakistan Railways Employees Union.
They demanded that a realistic approach be adopted for the revival of the department with the focus on elimination of corruption and maladministration instead of following alleged anti-workers and anti-public policies.
The speakers demanded that salaries of employees up to grade four be paid through the PR accounts department instead of banks.—APP
