The employees of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Educa-tion Monitoring Authority on Monday held a peace-ful protest in front of Dera Press Club, urging the government to take measures for meeting their de-mands. The participants were holding placards and chanting slogans in favour of their demands while wearing black bands around their arms.
They demanded promotions based on five years of service, change of nomenclature , proper service structure and payment of unpaid financial rights. The speakers said all the additional responsibilities were boycotted and despite the passage of one and a half months, they were forced to go on strike due to the lack of interest on the part of authorities con-cerned. They said from November 1, 2022, all the employees of the authority, including male female monitors and office staff, went to their district of-fices daily to register their protest, tied black bands on their arms and raised their voices for their rights.
