HYDERABAD, Aug 15: A group of workers of the Sindh Agriculture Research Non-Gazetted Employees Association, Tandojam, staged a sit-in outside the press club here on Wednesday to press the authorities concerned to accept their demands.

Ali Akbar Solangi and Mohammad Sharif Kathio who led the protest said they presented a number of demands to the officers concerned but in vain.

They urged the president, the Sindh chief minister and the Sindh minister for agriculture to promote clerks from grade-4 to grade-7, restore job quota for the sons of deceased and retired employees, repair their colonies, regularise jobs of daily-wagers and appoint them to vacant seats and pay allowances and privileges to employees.

They said that Agriculture Research Department of Dadu had 151 acres of agricultural land but the government was constructing offices of other departments and colonies there. They appealed to the government to cancel all projects.
