ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said that the government has decided to increase the wages of airport security force (ASF) soldiers by 15%, in line with other civil armed forces.
On February 18, Prime Minister Imran Khan gave his consent in that respect, he stated in a statement. Salary increases for ASF staff will begin on March 1, he stated.
The minister said that the prime minister authorised a 15% pay raise for the civil armed forces last week. He stated that the administration has previously established a 15% discrepancy allowance for federal government workers in grades 1–19.
On February 18, Prime Minister Imran Khan announced a 15% pay rise for Frontier Corps and Rangers members.
“I am completely aware that we are living in an inflationary period. Regrettably, the globe has been submerged in a sea of inflation. Even nations with the ability to create their own currencies, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, are experiencing unprecedented inflation after 40 and 30 years, respectively. As a result, I am well aware that the country’s salaried class is in agony, “Imran Khan said in a Naushki speech to commanders and soldiers of the Frontier Corps and Pakistan Rangers.
