PESHAWAR – The provincial government employees in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will now get a disparity allowance.
Minister for Finance Taimur Jhagra made the announcement in a video clip, sharing that Chief Minister Mahmood Khan has approved in principle to follow the federal government in approving the allowance from March 1 to all public sector employees – except those who are already getting extra allowances.
Jhagra added that he held a meeting with the provincial finance secretary and that all paperwork would be completed in the coming weeks.
