Gilgit
Governor Raja Jalal Hussain Maqpoon has signed the regularisation of contract and contingent employees act, confirming regularization of over 6,000 contract and contingent employees serving in different departments of the Gilgit-Baltistan government.
The bill had become a bone of contention between the outgoing GB government and Governor’s Secretariat. Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly had passed the resolutions twice to regularize the services of these employees.—APP
