The said that demands of regularization and release of pending wages of the workers, expediting process of regularization under SRO must e met without any delay. They said that there was great resentment among the workers for causing delay in their regularization.
President of Union, Zulfkar Ahmed Khan said that since long the Government has started the process of regularisation under SRO 520 but "its implementation is nowhere in sight".
