LAKKI MARWAT: The employees of public health department held a protest demonstration for acceptance of their demands in Bannu on Thursday. The protesting employees took out a procession from the offices of communication and works department and converged outside the office of the executive engineer of public health department. Public Health Workers Welfare Union patron-in-chief Pir Ali Gul Shah led the procession. Speaking on the occasion, Pir Ali Gul, Naqibullah Khan, Obaidullah Niazi and others said that the service structure for the employees of public health department, approved by the former provincial government, could not be implemented so far. They alleged that some officials in the office of PHED secretary were creating obstacles in acceptance of the demands of workers. They asked PHED secretary to remove such people from his office as they were playing with the future of employees. Speakers said that the posts of tubewell operators in BPS-6 and BPS-7 had been lying vacant for the last more than two years. They demanded filling of those vacancies and repair of the out of order tubewells for provision of clean drinking water to people.
