Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis & Human Resource Development, Mr. Sajid Hussain Turi has inaugurated workers’ flats in Nawa village Quetta today.
Talking to the media after the inauguration ceremony, the Federal Minister for OP&HRD said four hundred and forty-six flats have been inaugurated, which will be handed over to the workers in the next two months. People would soon see the progress of the worker’s housing initiatives.
“The Federation is fully aware of the deprivations of
Balochistan. A country can only progress if the labor and working-class of a country are prosperous. Chairman of Pakistan People’s Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has
special instructions regarding Balochistan. In the next phase, labor colonies are also being inaugurated in Rawalpindi, Taxila, and Mardan. I have issued instructions to the Workers’ Welfare Boards of these provinces to complete the flats and labor colonies as soon as possible.”
Turning to his government’s efforts in this regard, the
federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development said all facilities, including
playgrounds and schools, will be provided in labor
colonies. Ministry will guarantee the rights of workers and their children’s education. He said flats will be given to deserving workers working in private factories.
“I appeal to the people of Balochistan to send skilled
workers to foreign countries. There is less tendency in people to go abroad from Balochistan. Technical training centers will be opened in different cities of Balochistan to
send skilled youth abroad. Agreements are being made
with Europe and Saudi Arabia to provide employment to skilled workers.
The process of registration under EOBI is going on in
Balochistan. Comprehensive policies are being made to solve the problems of the workers of Balochistan and KPK. The implementation of the agreement with the ILO
will start from Quetta,” he elaborated.
