Port Qasim

2014-11-28
IN every government organisation, there is a facility called extraordinary leave and ex-Pakistan leave, which is granted to employees on certain conditions after scrutiny.

In Port Qasim Authority, this facility has become a joke, as officers are being granted Ex-Pakistan Leave and EOL for the most ridiculous of reasons.

An employee who has served the organisation for 10 years can avail himself of a two-year EOL, and if he has served more than 10 years, he can avail three years and so on.

In PQA, those who have served only three tofouryearshave beengrantedEOLfor four to five years and more on grounds like they have to take care of their toddlers.

Some even go to work abroad and surprisingly when they return, they are either upgraded or promoted.

Such favouritism is creating frustrationand tension among the cheated employees who do not have any connections for doing the same.
