Gilgit, June 11:<\/strong> Employees of the Gilgit-Baltistan government have decided to go on a pen-down strike starting Wednesday, to protest the federal government\u2019s decision of ceasing 25 % special pay being paid to them.<\/p>\n

According to details, the federal government had through a notification announced that 25% special pay being paid to the local employees of the Gilgit-Baltistan government is being ceased. According to some sources the federal government had also instructed that the payments already made to the employees should be recovered.<\/p>\n

\"Newspaper\"<\/a>The local employees consider this to be a gross violation of their rights and an example of discriminatory treatment. The same was voiced today through a newspaper advert in which the “All Gilgit-Baltistan Employees’ Association” had accused the federal and provincial government of treating the local employees with bias, while rewarding the non-local employees deputed in the region.<\/p>\n

The newspaper advert read that the non-local employees were getting 150% more salary than the rest.<\/p>\n

It is pertinent to note that the employees had gone to the Court against the discriminatory treatment meted to them and the Court had instructed the administration to pay the 25% special salary to them, including arrears from the past. For some time the payment was made but now it has been forcefully stopped, for unknown reasons, the Association stated.<\/p>\n

The employees had appealed to the Chief Minister and the Governor to intervene in the situation and stop the injustice.<\/p>\n

It has been learnt that the Tanzim-e-Asatiza Pakistan (TAP) has also resolved to join the protest drive. They have demanded of the government to take “appropriate action” against the “unlawful notification” to avoid the strike.<\/p>\n

In a press statement today, the Chief Minister had said that no injustice will be done to the government officials. He has also asked the Finance Ministry to submit a detailed report on the issue.<\/p>\n
