Speedo staff on strike for salary in Punjab
Mass Transit Authority blames delay in govt subsidy release for company’s arrears
LAHORE:
Employees of Speedo Bus Service have gone on a strike in protest against non-payment of salaries for four months.
Punjab Transport Minister Jehanzeb Khan Khichi took notice of the protest and directed the authorities concerned to resolve the matter at the earliest.
The private company operating the bus service claimed that the salaries had been delayed because its arrears had not been received from the Mass Transit Authority. The authority, on the other hand, attributed the problem to a delay in receiving subsidy of Rs3 billion from the provincial government.

LAHORE:Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will achieve success in the upcoming Senate elections and emerge as a majority party.
In a statement, he emphasised that those who were against open balloting have some internal fears as these people had been indulging in horse-trading in the past. The opposition always opposed political transparency and now it was trying to manipulate Senate elections by dint of the power of the currency, he added. Resistance to the open balloting had exposed the dual standards of the opposition parties, he said adding that the opposition should avoid hue and cry over open balloting issue as its credibility had been completely eroded and they would weep after seeing the Senate election results. In fact, the opposition alliance, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), was meant for ranting and it would continue to bewail till 2023, added the CM.
