SC hints at closure of Pakistan Steel Mills
Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) on Thursday while blaming the administration for the worst condition, hinted at closing Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM).
According to details, the apex court was hearing a case pertaining to the promotion of steel mill employees.
During proceedings, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Gulzar Ahmed remarked that the management of steel mills is responsible for its downfall.
CJP further asked Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government if it had launched any investigation against the management.
“Closed steel mills won’t require any managing director or chief executive officer,” he remarked.
Shahid Bajwa, Counsel of PSM, said that all management of steel mills has already been changed.
“49% of employees have been fired so far. No more employees can be fired without the permission of Labor Court,” he told the court.
Meanwhile, CJP expressed resentment over the attitude of the bureaucracy and said that Pakistan is suffering from different challenges due to unorganized system.
The court, while summoning minister for planning, development and special initiatives Asad Umar, minster for privatization Mian Soomro and minister for industries and production Hammad Azhar, adjourned hearing till February 09.
