A large number of Lady Health Workers and others of the National Programme for Family Planning have been protesting for quite some time for their right to be regularised. Now under the orders of Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the service of 52,000 Lady Health Workers and others from all over the province has been regularised. This is not all. Though the decision has been taken in a belated manner, the LHW Progamme employees will be getting benefits of this step retrospectively from July 2012 and the provisions of Punjab Civil Servants Act 1974 will be applicable to them.
Now that a major step has been taken in the right direction, regularisation orders will be issued to individual employees by the respective appointing authorities in due course of time throughout the province. It is quite rightly said: better late than never.
