Punjab: Increase in salaries

The Caretaker Cabinet of Punjab has approved a 35% increase in the salaries of government employees from grades 1 to 16 and a 30% increase in the salaries of employees from grades 17 to 22. In the Punjab Cabinet meeting chaired by caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi, 17 in the pension of government employees. A 5% increase was also approved, the salary increase will be done on the current basic salary of government employees. There is no doubt that the country has left behind many countries in the region or the world at least in terms of inflation. It will not be out of place to say that due to the shortage and price of food items, it has become difficult for people to maintain the relationship between body and soul. I will call it cumin. If the price of electricity reaches 50 rupees per unit, it will be soul-shattering for the people. In the meantime, the increase in the salaries of government employees by the Chief Minister of Punjab is a good development, by which they will be able to maintain the illusion of their whiteness to some extent. This is also worth mentioning.
