KARACHI: The employees of Karachi Port Trust (KPT) have staged a protest demonstration in front of main KPT Building for the restoration of son quota in the offices of the Trust.
During the protest, the participants demanded of the federal government and authorities concerned to restore the son quota in KPT, which was not implemented since 1996.
The protestors raised placards and banners inscribed with demands to restore son-quota for KPT employees. They also kept chanting slogans in favour of restoration of son quota in KPT.
The leader of KPT son quota restoration movement, Lala Nazeer alleged that the KPT administration was not taking interest in restoration of son quota in the department since long.
“Despite issuance of a notification during the tenure of former Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani regarding the restoration of son quota, it was not implemented yet,” said Lala Nazeer.
On the occasion, he demanded transparent inquiry of 1000 recruitment made on political basis in KPT in the year 2011 despite the non-implementation of son quota.
Lala Nazeer appealed the Prime Minister and Federal Minister for Ports and Shipping to take notice of the situation.
“The KPT Board Resolution no.362 dated November 26, 1988 stated in Para 6(E) that the son/daughter of the deceased/retired employees to be appointed within 7 days after the retirement. However, it has not been implemented since 1996,” he maintained.
