KARACHI:Executive Director, Pakistan Institute of Labour Education and Research (PILER) Karamat Ali has welcomed the issuance of the Sindh Covid-19 Emergency Relief Ordinance 2020 by the Sindh government, providing relief to working class groups especially daily wage workers, middle class tangents and parents of school-going children who have been badly hit economically due to pandemic coronavirus and prolonged lockdown.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, Ali also appreciated the Governor of Sindh for signing the Ordinance after some amendments. The Sindh governor had earlier returned the Ordinance with objections on some clauses in which the provincial government had provided relief in electricity and gas bills, which according to the Governor were not under the domain of the provincial government and that the two utility services are federal subjects.
