Educational institutions and several government offices were left paralysed in Rawalpindi city in Pakistan recently after teachers and clerks went on strike over changes to pension rules.


The teachers and clerks have announced to continue their strike against changes to the pension and leave encashment rules till their demands were met, reported Dawn News.

On the call of Punjab Teachers Association and the All Pakistan Clerk Association, many government schools in the district were locked while a pen-down strike was observed in government offices, including the offices of the deputy commissioner and commissioner, the newspaper reported.

The teachers also locked schools, creating problems for people in the region.

The strike is being observed against changes made by the caretaker Punjab government to pension and leave encashment rules, reported Dawn News.

“The caretaker government decided to give pension to government employees on the basis of their basic pay of the first months of their service. Earlier, the pension was provided on the running basic pay while leave encashment has also been reduced significantly,” Raja Shahid Mubarak, a senior leader of Punjab Teachers Association, told Dawn News.
