KARACHI: Mayor Karachi Waseem Akhtar said Wednesday that a summary had been submitted to the Sindh government for regularization of contractual staff of KMC.

Since the government has imposed a ban on regularization of services of contract employees; therefore, these employees should wait for the directives of the Sindh government in this connection, he said at a meeting held with regard to the demands of the contractual employees of KMC for regularization of their services.
