WAPDA
Electricity workers took out a large procession today on 4.11.2013 under the
aegis of "ALL PAKISTAN WAPDA HYDRO
ELECTRIC WORKERS UNION" C.B.A
Bakhtiar Labour Hall, Lahore
To
protest against the proposed privatization of national public utility on the
behest of IMF and World Bank and urging that
the Electricity being basic need of the people, its management should be made transparent and efficient
and the Government should allocate adequate resources for Hydel and Coal Fired
Thermal Power Stations for providing cheaper electricity to the consumers and overcoming load
shedding instead of handing over to Business Tycoons.
The protestors
adopted a resolution in support of their demands and urged the prime Minister of Pakistan and
Chief Minister to adopt National "Economic Self Reliance Policy" and
recover Taxes from free riders who had deposited billion of Rupees abroad instead
of mortgaging national economy in the hands of I.M.F and The World Bank.
