Workers from the Balochistan Employees Grand Alliance (BEGA) staged protest rallies in Quetta and Khuzdar, Pakistan, demanding the grant of disparity reduction allowance. In Quetta, the employees marched from Bacha Khan Chowk to the City Police Station, where they held a sit-in and criticized the government for not meeting their demands.
In Khuzdar, government employees, including district and divisional leaders, protested against the delay in addressing their grievances. The demonstrators voiced their discontent and shouted slogans against the government for not fulfilling their demands promptly.
The Unemployed Pharmacists’ Action Committee in Balochistan expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s decision to offer a limited number of vacancies to over 2,000 unemployed pharmacists. The committee demanded more transparent and merit-based recruitment processes to address the issue effectively.
Dozens of government employees were arrested in Quetta as they protested for the implementation of the Disparity Reduction Allowance. The authorities took measures to prevent protesters from assembling in the Red Zone, leading to disruptions in government office operations due to the ongoing protests.
