Will engineers in Sindh get technical allowance?

The Sindh Assembly adopted a resolution demanding that the provincial government provide a technical allowance to engineers in the province. MQM member Adil Usmani, an engineer by education and closely associated with ‘The Engineers Pakistan’, moved the resolution, anticipating support from the treasury benches.
The resolution was passed during a session designated as private members’ day, chaired by Speaker Owais Qadir Shah, who also holds an engineering degree. Mr. Shah, whose father Syed Abdul Qadir Shah is also an engineer and leading the National Engineers Association (NEA), a prominent engineers’ group in Pakistan, sympathizes with the engineers’ cause.
MQM member Adil Usmani presented the resolution for an allowance for engineers in the province, which received support from Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon. The minister acknowledged the hard work of engineers and argued that providing them with an allowance is justified. The resolution passed unanimously in the Sindh Assembly.
The demand for a technical allowance has long been advocated by engineers in Pakistan. After significant protests, Punjab, KP, and the federal government have already accepted and implemented this demand. However, the Sindh government had initially resisted. With the adoption of this resolution by the Sindh Assembly, it remains to be seen whether the engineers’ demand will finally be met.
