KP Municipal Workers Threaten Boycott Over Unpaid Salaries

Local government workers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are warning of a city-wide strike against sanitation and municipal services due to unpaid salary and pension bills. The Local Government Grand Alliance declared that thousands of serving and retired Tehsil Municipal Administration employees are still waiting for their October salary, as the Finance Department has not disbursed the required funds.

These delays in transferring TMA octroi shares and other outstanding money have left local bodies unable to pay salaries and pensions, causing financial strain for municipal staff, sanitation workers, and pensioners throughout the province. Some have been waiting for months. The alliance threatened a full suspension of sanitation and other municipal services if the issue remains unresolved, which could disrupt waste collection and regular municipal operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
