Minor staff of the demining team in the North have complained that their wages and other benefits are totally inadequate. This is due to the advanced equipment and demining machinery being taken to the area, they have told the Adaderana correspondent.
A monthly wage of some Rs. 40,000 per month was paid
earlier for a minor employee. However, with the arrival of modern equipment
their wages have been reduced to around Rs. 30,000 per month while insurance
benefits too have been curtailed, they complained.
